ORNIS is also a research centre. Scientists participate on professional research focused on bird parasitology (Dr. Jiljí Sitko), waterfowl migration, common bird census and bird ringing (Dr. Josef Chytil) and bird vocalisation (Dr. Lucia Turčoková). Students and general public can use our specialised ornithological library containing thousands of worldwide and native scientific and popular publications.
Museum pedagogue creates educational entertaining programmes for schools and public education actions. Due to interactive elements in exhibitions, amusing workshops and other not traditional methods and procedures, attendance of Ornithological station slightly increases annually. It moves about 6000 visitors per year.
You can relax in our ORNIS garden, where we grow vegetables, herbs and condiments. The part of this garden is outside exposition of bird breeding boxes and feeders. In the close future we plan to construct aviaries for handicapped birds.
We also provide public-information ecological service during the working time (8 a.m. - 4 p.m). Side by side we every day render mushroom information service by our taxidermist Jiří Polčák.
One of the most used utility of the ornithological station is our rescue station for injured animals. When you find injured or weak animal, you can call us on the phone number: +420 724 947 543 or to bring it to the rescue station. We provide animals with medical care, follow up rehabilitation and recovery into the wild.
