Vogelburg, Bird park and parrot sanctuary in Weilrod, Germany.

Vogelburg is a bird park focused on parrots in Weilrod, set within a wooded area in Hesse, with large flight aviaries where the birds can move freely and follow their natural behavior. The site holds many parrot species in natural-style enclosures spread across the forested grounds.

The park was founded in 1981 by a family with expertise in keeping parrots, starting as a private collection before growing into a facility that also takes in surrendered and older birds. Over time, the original concept expanded to include the care of parrots that no longer had a place elsewhere.

Many of the parrots living here were given up by private owners and have learned to move in groups and communicate with one another. Visitors can watch how the birds develop social bonds and respond to their surroundings.

A visit on a dry day is a good idea, as the parrots tend to be more active in mild weather and easier to watch. The paths through the wooded grounds vary in surface and slope, so sturdy shoes are a sensible choice.

Some of the parrots in the park are very old and were given up by owners who could no longer care for them. Parrots can live for several decades, which means that some of the birds here have already spent many years in their second home.
