With its grey concrete walls it would have only impressed a common swift at best. New plants, lots of natural light and lots more space ensure chirpily-happy residents who are obviously delighted with the results of the renovation work. “You notice that the animals are far more relaxed and at ease since the renovation work was completed”, confirmed the Zoo and Tierpark Director Dr. Andreas Knieriem. “The birds now have far more places to perch and fly to, as well as natural places to retreat to, should they want some peace and quiet”. And he is also certain that the visitors will also be flying through the gates of the zoo to see the new “World of Birds”.
There are now 221 birds from 97 different species who call the World of Birds their home. In total, 1,725 individual birds from 300 different bird species live in Zoo Berlin. The bird house was originally planned by the architect Lehrecke Witschurke.
