Conserve Birds in Hungary

Protect injured and orphaned birds on your European vacation; you and your family can make a difference and conserve birds in Hungary. Get to know Budapest in a new way.

About this project

Despite being a fairly small  country, Hungary is home to over 400 types of birds. Unfortunately there is no a central organization to care for injured or orphan birds, and there are only a few non profit foundations fighting to save these birds.
You can play a part in helping these poor birds and the organizations who care for them by building bird boxes and swallows’ nests.

Main volunteering activities:
  • Making wooden bird boxes to house injured and orphaned birds
  • Working alongside craftsmen to create earthen swallows’ nests
Key information:
  • The volunteering project typically lasts for 3-5 days
  • Approx. 4-5 hours each day
  • Available all year round
  • Blends well with nearby sightseeing and relaxation activities in Budapest
  • Family-friendly (min age 10)
Nearby activities

  • Aqua park and thermal baths
  • Traditional folk dancing
