WILD ANIMAL SHELTER

Only 25 km from my home is a beautiful leisure park which is called "Bois des Rêves" which means "Wood of dreams" and it really is such a place. Just besides is a wild animal shelter, where people can bring birds, hedgehogs, rapids and other little wild animals which are injured. It's like a hospital for wild animals. My friend had found a little black bird, and we brought it there.



You have to walk through the woods, no car is allowed there.



It is well hidden between the trees



From far we saw a huge bird enclosure, probably for eagles or other big birds.



This was the entrance to the office of the shelter



There are only volunteers working there.



It is a long and large room and on both sides little cages with the injured animals. Mostly birds.



The little black birdie we brought will be checked by a vet. Behind the yellow grids was a little hedgehog hiding. He had been injured by a car probably.

It was a very interesting place and we certainly will go back and  also visit the leisure park, when the weather is a little better. The day we went there it was very muddy and wet.
