On their way from nesting ground to feeding grounds white storks are repeatedly injured because of power lines, road or rail traffic. Animals that have been cared for by a veterinariana and animal keepers may be released again. However, some of the storks will never be able to fly again and therefore remain in the zoo. On the roof of the zoo's villa healthy storks breed and fly up to 10,000 km far to Africa in autumn.
