As he explains the birds come into the centre for a variety of reasons.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The work that we do is that of rehabilitation. These animals face a series of accidents, some of them caused by humans - unfortunately we still come across shooting accidents.

Because we can give them either chicks, quails or even pigeons, depending on the species and the necessity of the moment.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAbout 250 birds arrive at the centre every year - most of them found by the local forest ranger or by hikers. \u003cbr/\u003eThe raptors undergo various therapies performed by Marangoni's team of experts ranging from detoxification after poisoning and healing bone fractures to complicated surgery or even the reconstruction of the birds' plumage. \u003cbr/\u003eAviaries serve as the sick rooms for these birds.\u003cbr/\u003eThe aviaries are closed wooden structures that allow only very little light and ensure that the wild birds, longing for freedom, don't attempt too many enthusiastic flights.\u003cbr/\u003eThis ensures that the birds stay calm and protects them from further injuries.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter their recovery, which takes an average of one month but can take up to a year, the rehabilitation team prepares the birds for their release into the wild. \u003cbr/\u003eMarangoni shows off a falcon whose wing is healing after a fracture.\u003cbr/\u003eThen he prepares a young buzzard for release back into the wild.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the things the centre does very well is a practice called \"hacking\", as Marangoni explains.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The specialty of this centre is probably what we do with the young nestlings that are brought to us, both diurnal and nocturnal, for which we are equipped.
