Frydenlund does some work with rescuing captive birds that the owners either neglect or simply don't want anymore. Some of the birds are rehabilitated in this aviary until they move out of the park or move to a permanent aviary in the park.
Currently, the aviary houses an unspecified species of cockatoo.
Frydenlund Fuglepark, also known as "Danmarks Fuglezoo" ("Denmark's bird zoo") is one of two bird parks in Denmark, the other one being Nordsjællands Fuglepark. They contrast each other somewhat in that Frydenlund focuses more on larger birds such as waterfowl, pheasants and ratites, and has fewer rare species, mostly keeping birds that are easy to source in private aviculture. Besides birds, they also have four species of mammals.
Frydenlund is located in the middle of the countryside on the island of Funen in very pleasant surroundings. The exhibits themselves are also generally fine, but it's one of those zoos where you see a heavy contrast between new and old - the new free-flight aviaries are huge and luxurious, but there are also rows of tiny parrot aviaries that look like they haven't changed for many decades.
