Animals and birds that are stray or injured
We at Parken often receive inquiries about taking care of animals and birds that are either alone, injured or similar.
We ask that you contact your nearest veterinarian/bird rescue or wildlife board. They can guide you on an acute problem.
IMPORTANT!
As a zoo, we have very strict rules on what we can accept from outside animals.
We ask that you do not bring fresh small animals/birds from the area where they are, to us. - All animal species. Parents are usually in the immediate vicinity unless otherwise registered. Parents of the animal/birds keep their distance from humans/ dogs outside or in cars - until they realize the danger is over.
Small offspring can often take other paths than the parent wants, - and they will quickly be picked up by their parents, - when the danger is over. Unfortunately, they are often cuddly towards people and somewhat confused, and do not fully understand that their parents are waiting for them nearby. Therefore, keep a good distance!
ATTENTION! Injured animals and birds should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest veterinarian/wildlife board at your exact location.
Wildlife Board/veterinarian : Contact the police on 02800 to be transferred or to get in touch with the wildlife board's emergency telephone number.
They should be contacted immediately when you come across an injured or sick wild animal. Of course, you should report your own collision !
Our veterinarian at the Park will decide after any contact whether the animal/bird can possibly fit in with us at the Park in certain, but unfortunately rare cases. But sometimes it can fit, and then we at the Park are very happy.
Quarantine rules are probably absolutely crucial here due to the possible risk of infection of diseases carried by our other various animals.
