Weltvogelpark Walsrode
In 1962, his daughter, Uschi and her husband, Wolf Brehm, took over the park with the intention of creating a conservation and visitor centre, doubling the size within the first 6 years.Whilst in earlier years shows had been largely dropped, the new owners introduced more flight demonstrations which increased the number of visitors and ensured the survival of the park.In addition, the visitor can meet birds in an environment modelled on their natural habitat with no artificial barriers both in a free flight aviary with sand dunes and a wave machine, as well as in numerous buildings, such as the Jungle Hall.One special attraction is the variety of flight demonstrations on an open-air stage where falcons and eagles are displayed, as well as parrots, pelicans and Indian Runner ducks.[10] The bird park participates in the European Endangered Species Programme and has, for example, made eagle owls available for reintroduction into the wild.
