Stock Photo - PRODUCTION - 01 August 2023, Saxony-Anhalt, Magdeburg: Emilia Smolarek from the wildlife reintroduction station at Magdeburg Zoo observes a small sparrow that she had previously released into the wild. Usually small birds like this house sparrow had fallen out of the nest or the first flight attempt was unsuccessful. In the reintroduction station, the chicks stay until they can forage for food on their own. For over 70 years, young wild animals have been raised at Magdeburg Zoo. Without exception, we take in found animals of native species that may not be hunted. Photo: Klaus-Dietmar Gabbert/dpa. - Magdeburg/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany
