24H Delivery Point In Warsaw For Injured Birds Is World's First
Pigeons are seen in an inclosure, the last part of their treatment before being set free at the zoo in Warsaw, Poland on 11 February, 2026. At the Warsaw Zoo a delivery point for injured birds has opened. Civilians can deposit a bird into a locker or "birdomat" (ptakomat in Polish) where later zoo workers will take them from for treatment. Over 9000 injured birds are handled annually at the zoo.
