The birds, sourced from various locations across Europe, had been living in an aviary within the park since last May. This recovery initiative, led by the Alive Foundation, seeks to re-establish a bird that was once native to the region.
“"It is a historic and very emotional day, as these birds were considered extinct on the continent 400 years ago."
The foundation plans to continue these releases over the next seven to eight years. The ultimate goal is to establish a stable population of 30 to 40 breeding pairs in the Empordà area.
