(Ynet News) Korin Elbaz Alush - The Israeli Wildlife Hospital, operated by the Nature and Parks Authority and the Ramat Gan Safari Park, is building a new enclosure that will become a flight school for injured birds before they return to the wild. The hospital has been operating for 14 years and treats 6,000 animals a year. Birds often have to go through complicated orthopedic surgeries that call for a long rehabilitation period. Many end up unable to fly. In order to be released back into the wild, these birds require a second rehabilitation period that focuses on re-learning how to fly and practicing it.
