The Northern Bald Ibis is a migratory bird which was native in Central Europe until the 17th century, before it became extinct due to the huge hunting pressure. Today the Northern Bald Ibis is one of the most endangered bird species worldwide. In the context of an EU project (LIFE+ Biodiversity), with partners in Austria, Italy and Germany, the species is to be reintroduced in Europe.
Support our project by adopting a Northern Bald Ibis for a year.
All donors get an adoption certificate with a picture and the name of the adopted bird and a small thank you gift.
This years’ spring migration of our wild birds has started earlier than ever before. The female Luna (generation 2013) has already arrived on 5 March in its breeding area in Burghausen. This is the earliest arrival in a breeding area so far.
Since last year we run an exciting research project, which builds up on our successful studies on the mechanism, function and energetics of bird flight.
