Vogelburg, Bird park and parrot sanctuary in Weilrod, Germany.
Description
Vogelburg is a bird park and parrot sanctuary in Weilrod that features spacious flight aviaries and natural habitats set within a forest reserve. The facility houses numerous parrot species that can fly freely and engage in their natural behaviors.
History
The park was founded in 1981 by a family with expertise in parrot care and evolved from a private collection into a refuge for surrendered and elderly parrots. This transition reflects the growing understanding that such birds require specialized care and living spaces.
Culture
The park shows how parrots live together in large groups and communicate when given space and freedom. Visitors can observe directly how these birds develop their personalities and maintain social bonds.
Practical
The park is best visited during dry weather and mild temperatures, as parrots are more active and offer better viewing opportunities. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the route through the aviaries involves various paths and levels across the wooded grounds.
Did you know?
The facility takes in elderly and surrendered parrots that might have no future elsewhere, giving them a second life in this specialized refuge. This mission makes the park more than just a visitor attraction but a vital place for bird rescue and rehabilitation.
