Free as a bird

This is what makes everything we do worthwhile!   Plucky the pigeon was in such a bad way when she came in and we didn’t think she would live.   Thanks to our intensive recovery programme and the dedicated care given to this brave little bird by sanctuary volunteer, Georgina, our rescued pigeon has made a complete recovery.   Her injuries, although they looked very bad, were mostly superficial.   Lots of t.l.c., good food (a raw egg went down a treat) and the will to live all make the difference.  We don’t underestimate the spiritual help and the power of good thoughts and prayers for this injured bird’s recovery.

We knew she could fly without problems because we’d released her for a trial run in the stables, but what a wonderful moment when she had her freedom and soared up into the sky.   Have a safe and happy life little bird and our thanks to everyone who has sent her their good wishes.
