Scientists taught bald ibises migration by microlight; Europe saw its first colony in 400 years
September 14, 2026

This innovative method helped them relearn ancient migration routes and return independently. By 2011, the birds began returning without human guidance, establishing a self-sustaining colony. Further management interventions are still needed to ensure the species' long-term viability.
