Chickadees, finches, stock-owls, woodpeckers and many other birds suffered injuries in the stormy weather during the last few days.

The birds are taken to the Hortobágy Bird Hospital where veterinarians treat them and following their recovery they are released to freedom.

The Bird Hospital was founded in 1991.
