Regarding what to do when you find a dead wild bird
As a measure against highly pathogenic avian influenza, if a dead wild bird is found on the premises, staff members wearing protective suits and goggles may carry out the removal work.
If you find a dead wild bird in the park, please keep your distance (no more than 2 meters) and inform a nearby staff member or contact us at the main number.
Please note that the death of a wild bird does not immediately cause health problems for humans.
We kindly ask for your understanding.
