BIRD HOSPITAL IN HORTOBÁGY

•The Foundation's goal is

primarily the veterinarian

treatment of protected birds

and their release to freedom

in nature following their

recovery.

•In addition to natural

damages and infections due

to human activities - such

as poisoning, damages on

highways, poaching, etc. -

many birds suffer injuries

from which they can be

saved under the proper

conditions.

BIRD HOSPITAL IN HORTOBÁGY

•Since 1991 the veterinarian

treatment of birds has been

covered by the bird repatriation

station operated by Hortobágy

National Park, where damaged and

ill protected and highly protected

birds arrive from all parts of the

country. Under the current

conditions, following the /primarily

operational/ veterinarian care,

follow-up care and full recovery,

some 40% of them are return to the

wild.

•The breeding, interior propagation

and storage of the single birds that

had suffered permanent damage

are also carried out at the site.
