Emergency room for injured wild birds opens at Warsaw Zoo in Poland
The Warsaw Zoo's automated system handles about 9,000 wild bird patients yearly, improving rescue and care for species harmed by human activity and climate change.
- This past week the Warsaw Zoo launched a 24/7 automated drop-off for injured wild birds at its entrance, near the bird hospital operating since 1998.
- Funded in part by Warsaw's citizen budget, the emergency room project was the brainchild of Andrzej Kruszewicz, who said people must care for creatures whose habitats they altered.
- A local resident brought the bullfinch in a shoebox and paper-form process to the automated metal containers, which lock and alert nearby vets for diagnosis and treatment.
- Veterinarians say rehabilitated birds are eased into outdoor cages outside the bird hospital, with treated storks seen in external cages on Sunday, March 16, 2026.
- Amid warming winters, hospital manager And|elika Gackowska said some birds now stay in Poland and are caught off guard by this harsh winter; staff praise public help but warn against overzealous rescuing and run a spring information campaign warning not to 'kidnap' birds.
