Warsaw Zoo has created a new emergency drop-off system that gets injured birds treated fast. When a Warsaw resident brings in a wounded bird and places it in a metal box at the zoo entrance, nearby vets get a signal. Staff rush the bird into the hospital, make a diagnosis and start treatment. The zoo’s bird hospital has operated since 1998 and treats about 9,000 birds a year. The zoo says many injuries come from human-made hazards and climate change.
