We have birds brought in nearly every day and finding accommodation for them is difficult. These fragile injured creatures need a lot of care especially at first when they are in shock. Being handled by humans is terrifying for them. The little dove shown above came in yesterday, she has an injured wing and can’t fly. We don’t think there is any serious problem and a period of rest will help her. We’ll keep her in a small cage to start with and increase her space as she recovers. When she can fly again and has had plenty of food and regained her strength, we’ll let her go.
Donations towards our wildlife projects would be very much appreciated. More owl and nest boxes are next on the agenda with new aviaries for birds in recovery following on. `Join us – £10 per year – and this helps wildlife as well as all our other rescues. Send us your name and address and we’ll send you our welcome pack straight out. As well as a Pet Sams keyring we’ll keep inb touch with FREE newsletters (next issue out this month) and emergency pet care card – FREE advice and info – we’re here to help.
