There was a joyful and not entirely daily reunion with a goose older than 20 years old, which was hatched in 2004 in the Innsbruck Alpenzoo. The bird was recently discovered and photographed in St. Lorenzen in the Lesachtal in Carinthia.
But how can you identify the beautiful bird with “Birthplace Innsbruck”? One of the photographed Goose filled a marker ring with the marker “Z26”. I’m sorry, what? Z26? To the question of which animal is behind this “Unive” name, the head of the renowned Gierstation in Lago di Cornino in Friuli had an answer.
Geier was released in 2007
“Z26” is a goose that slid into the Innsbruck Alpenzoo in 2004 and was handed over to the Italian Gierstation in the same year. De Vogel was eventually released in 2007 as part of a species protection program.
“Our work is bearing fruits”
“It is always moving when we see that our work is bearing fruit. This observation underlines the success of cross-border species protection projects. The fact that a whole can be seen again today is a sign of the sustainable effect of such programs,” says Alpenzoo boss André Stadler.
Incidentally, the two goose celebrations were discovered by an “attentive natural observer”, as the Alpine President praised. This was able to photograph the two birds that are marked with rings.
