    Does anyone have any information about the Lundi-Farm?

    They produce various special feeds for waterfowl but also for exotic birds/animals (even elephants). It seems that there is also a small zoo which is home to puffins and penguins among other birds. Furthermore, according to the website, Torrent Ducks have already been bred.

    I would be interested to know if anyone knows wether you can visit this facility or if anyone has ever been there.

    Same for me. I was just thinking about going to Düsseldorf to see the puffins and checked on ZTL if they are still there. And apparently they got them from Lundi-Farm and Verl is 40 min from me so I was kinda confused.

    I only know this place exists because Joel Sartore took pictures of some species there for Photo Ark.

    As far as I know, is not open to public, but I´d write directly to them to ask. Maybe I´m wrong, or maybe they open certain days like Wisbroek.

    It is a private collection of mostly waterbirds. They have or had almost all waterfowl species of the world, except 7, bred Puffins and Torrent Ducks etc. The owner runs a company which makes animal food.
