The Pelicans — From an Italian Travelling Circus
Eight pelicans rescued from an Italian travelling circus found a new permanent home at Odsherred Zoo Rescue.
Eight pelicans were rescued from an Italian travelling circus and found a new permanent home at Odsherred Zoo Rescue. Circus life had not provided them with the conditions they needed.
At Rescue Zoo, the pelicans have access to spacious facilities with water areas where they can exhibit their natural behaviour. They are part of the diverse animal population of approximately 600 animals.
The rescue of the pelicans is an example of our international collaboration. Exotic animals in distress know no borders, and Odsherred Zoo Rescue stands ready to help animals from across Europe.
When you choose to support a specific story through a donation or subscription, you are supporting animals with similar backgrounds, needs, and histories, both now and in the future. Some of the animals featured in these stories still live at Rescue Zoo today, while others have sadly passed away of natural causes after a long life in our care. The stories on our website reflect the real animals and situations we have worked with, and your support helps us continue helping animals like them. We do our best to keep everything updated, and if you would like to know more about a specific animal, you are always welcome to ask us when you visit or contact us by email.
