The Ministry of the Environment placed a building in Keila (5 Piiri Street) belonging to its area of government at the disposal of those taking care of the birds. At the moment, the employees of the Ministry of the Environment are assisting in transporting the equipment of the rehabilitation centre for birds, after which they will help to take birds to the temporary rehabilitation sites and set up the main rehabilitation centre. A special-purpose bird hospital is being set up in the building of the Estonian Environment Information Centre in Keila. From now on, birds will be taken to this hospital from both the pollution sites and temporary rehabilitation sites in Tallinn. The bird rehabilitation centre was brought along by members of the International Fund for Animal Welfare who are contributing to the work of the centre. There are work rooms, supply of electricity and water in the centre, all of which are necessary for helping birds.
