**As a non-profit, home run rescue we rely on donations to help with essential daily costs. Please consider visiting our donations page if you are interested in giving us a one off or regular donation so that with your support WE can continue to CARE!
We’ve been having a bird week! This time of year with nesting season being in full swing we are seeing lots of orphaned/injured young or silly parents getting into a predicament. Please contact a rescue like ourselves as soon as you find an animal in need, reaction time can truly be the make or break point and remember that not all injuries are visible!
- Our original gang of ducklings are all doing brilliantly outside in their pen and are almost ready and grown enough to be released.
- We have had an additional 3 younger ducklings join us including a little shelduck. (bet you can’t spot this little imposter!)
- Our gosling pair are doing great enjoying a splash about in the sunshine-our little one with the badly injured leg has been having the splint and bandages changed daily and has finally began using its leg now the wounds have fully healed thanks to quick action of the finder contacting us so care could begin!
- Our dove and pigeon now fly away freely but come back for a good meal and a nice warm bed come the evening still at the moment.
- We had a male swan rescue after reports came in his leg was entangled by a fishing line and hook-after removing the line and giving him good check, some food and respite care we hop to release him back to his partner in the next few days.
- All of our fox cubs are still growing well, we no longer being handled/interacted with them and they permanently stay in their outdoor run and den which we dot their food around to help build foraging instincts.
- Also this week we gave a big thank you shout out to Deborah Birch for making us a reusable swan bag! Presented with an old sail and a template she worked some magic which will save us lots of money while still being able to secure swans in a calm and safe manor for transport.
