Once again I have made a species list for Weltvogelpark Walsrode, just like I did last year. While creating a list like this is already a challenge, it becomes even more frustrating because Walsrode often moves their birds around the park. This meant every visit was a bit stressful, since I had to adjust the list each time, even when I went there only for a final double check. During that last double check I also noticed that they had started bringing birds indoors due to bird flu. Updating the list based on the current situation would be pointless, since many enclosures are empty at the moment, so I chose to upload my list from October, before the bird flu restrictions. This means that some of the enclosures and aviaries may be empty right now, but I still think it is useful to have a species list for October 2025 (And it is also likely most of the aviaries will house the same species whenever the bird flu is "over" again).
Just like last year, I will be following the rundweg, the official walking route, as the structure for this species list. I will divide it into sections for easier navigation, similar to how ronnienl arranged his list a few years ago, which I have used as a helpful template and inspiration.

I hope this is all correct now, but please let me know if you notice any errors!
Just like last year, I will be following the rundweg, the official walking route, as the structure for this species list. I will divide it into sections for easier navigation, similar to how ronnienl arranged his list a few years ago, which I have used as a helpful template and inspiration.

Toowoomba free-flight
Located in the Paradieshalle, this walkthrough aviary allows visitors to feed lorikeets. It contains:
- Rainbow lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus)
Some of these birds also show signs of hybridism, possibly with Trichoglossus haematodus or similar species.
I may post updates after this if anything has changed since the list was made. For new species, I recommend following the "news from Walsrode" threads. Here is the one for 2025: news from Walsrode 2025 [Weltvogelpark Walsrode]
I hope this is all correct now, but please let me know if you notice any errors!
