There are suspects
Parrots and Their Eggs Simply Abandoned in the Woods
A cyclist was quite astonished when he discovered several parrots in a wooded area in Schlatt. The man alerted animal welfare activists, who have been trying to capture the birds ever since. Three have already been rescued; five are still missing. There is reportedly already a lead pointing to the owner—the police are investigating.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen According to Birdlife, around 450 bird species have been recorded in Austria as of 2023. Parrots are clearly not among them, yet several of these exotic birds turned up in a wooded area in Schlatt on Thursday—though not of their own accord; they were likely abandoned there. A cyclist noticed the birds and alerted Tierengel Austria Animal Rescue.
More Birds on the Loose
“We’ve been able to rescue three birds so far. We also found a box containing several eggs hanging from a tree,” says an animal welfare activist. He estimates that five birds are still on the loose in the area. These birds are not suited for life in the wild at our latitudes. “For now, they might still find a few seeds and fruits, but when it gets colder, it will become dangerous.”
Incident Reported
On Saturday, members of the organization were back in the woods searching for the missing birds. At the same time, the police have launched an investigation into animal cruelty, and there may already be a lead. A 38-year-old man from the Wels-Land district is suspected of having abandoned the birds. “Anyone who can no longer keep or care for their animals must seek help,” the animal rights activists urge.
