Weltvogelpark Walsrode news from Walsrode 2017

Interestingly, the former article appears to suggest that Lesser Bird-of-Paradise are now in the collection, if my shaky ability at reading the following paragraph has not led me astray:

"Paradiesvögel werden insgesamt in 42 Arten unterschieden, von denen neben dem Raggi-Paradiesvogel auch der Königsparadiesvogel, der Fadenhopf, der rote Paradiesvogel, der große Paradiesvogel und der kleine Paradiesvogel im Weltvogelpark Walsrode erlebt werden können."

Nothing wrong with your German TLD, that is exactly what the article said :).
 
Thinking about planning a trip to Walsrode this spring, but can anyone tell me how the bird flu is/will be affecting its collection? Will the majority still be visable?
 
Apparantly the Storm's storks are no longer on display...
A real shame...I was really looking forward to seeing them in june.

I've heard about behind the scenes tours in Walsrode.
Can anyone tell me if this is still an option? How would I arrange this?
 
Thanks. That's quite an expensive option indeed!

Does anyone have any experiences with it?
I'm skeptical it will be worth the money.

I can't decide if it's potentially great value (definitely for large groups) or a bit expensive. It could be construed that it's 35 euros for the first hour regardless of group size (divided between ten people that would be great) or is it 35 euros for each person in the group?
 
We did the tour as a group of 10 and paid, as I recall, about €5 each - well worth it! - but that was ten years ago now (terrifyingly!).
 
We did it a few years ago. I had hoped to see some of the rarities (all the BoPs were behind the scenes at the time), but all we got to see was the kitchen where they prepared all the food. Only a small peek into the parrot breeding center for some of the smaller species. We also spend quite some time in the park, among the visitors as a sort of guided tour. It was OK, but not what i had hoped (seeing some of the rarer species not on show).
 
I see... thanks. Not really interested in seeing food being prepared.
I'd consider a tour if it would mean seeing some off-show species, like the Storm's stork.

The birdpark itselfs states this is the first time worldwide. I didn't question that statement. But even they could be mistaken, I guess.
