As a rescue center for wild animals, this year too, the Sofia Zoo sheltered deer injured in accidents, storks that cannot fly and even a Nile crocodile. Among the animals housed are also confiscated valuable exotic birds such as pink flamingos and pink pelicans, BTA reports, citing the Zoo.

The birds are extremely valuable and are protected by law. They require not only specialized conditions for their breeding, but also practical skills, which the zoo employees have.

The director of the Zoo, Dobromir Borislavov, has the ambition to build a new, even more spacious enclosure for them, which would allow them to reproduce.
