The macaw that the war brought to us

The war changed our centre too. Since 2014 birds from the combat zone began arriving, and after the full-scale invasion far more — not only wild species but exotic residents of destroyed private menageries.One of them is a macaw, already over twenty years old. He came to us from the Donetsk region back in 2014 and has lived at the centre ever since.Each such resident is a separate story and responsibility — exotic birds need special warmth, diet and care all year round.
The war changed our centre too. As early as 2014 birds from the combat zone began arriving, and after the full-scale invasion began there were far more of them — among them not only wild species but exotic residents of destroyed private menageries.
One of them is a macaw, already more than twenty years old. He came to us from the Donetsk region back in 2014 and has lived at the centre ever since. For many such birds a return to the wild is impossible, so we become their permanent home.
Every resident like this is a separate story and a separate responsibility, because exotic birds need special warmth, diet and care all year round.
