Excitement about Master Adebar! A veterinary surgeon from Burgenland, who also treats and cares for wild birds, does not see a rosy future for the perching migratory birds in this country in the long term. She already has to deal with malnourished animals. The country's nature conservation expert is calmer.

Claudia Herka, veterinary surgeon and head of the animal sanctuary in Parndorf, is worried about the welfare of Burgenland's white storks. Just a month ago, she was fighting for the life of an adult bird in her practice, which was found badly injured on a roadside near Apetlon.
