The Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Association together with the National Heritage Institute (NÖRI) established a bird sanctuary in the graveyard on Fiumei road. The 25 burrows and the feeder are of great help to the nearly 100 species of birds that live here and 40 that breed here, including pine woodpeckers, specimens of which winter in flocks through the trees in the graveyard.

Pursuant to the agreement concluded by the Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Association (MME) with the National Heritage Institute (NÖRI), the association recently placed 25 recycled, self-made type B birdcases on the trees of the Fiumei road graveyard. This is especially helpful for birds in February, among other things, for the large numbers of pines that winter here.

The Hungarian Ornithological and Nature Conservation Association has observed more than 100 bird species living here and 40 breeding here in recent years, and the densely deciduous maple species are great hiding places for them. The lower-growing evergreens provide shelter for forest owls from October to March.

The nests are classified into categories A, B, C and D based on their inlet - we learned from the association. Type B is the most widely used species, including the most adaptable species common in settlements - house and field sparrow - which prefer non-traditional and lower nesting sites. 

In addition to supporting nesting birds, experts have not forgotten about wintering birds. A large canopy was placed in the cemetery for them.
