Getting help with your wildlife.

 

We're only small, but we want to help you with your query. When we're not busy at work, we are usually at home dealing with our animals.

 

If you have found some injured wildlife or want to ask our advice, go to our Contact Us page, or find us on Facebook, and click the message us button. At present we do not have a phone number for the rescue. 

 

We work with other organisations and will find you the best help if for any reason we are unable to do so. 

 

 

INJURED WILDLIFE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO VET FOR ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT, UNLESS THEY ADVISE OTHERWISE. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH A NUMBER OF LOCAL VETS IN THE AREA AND CAN TAKE ON EVEN MORE COMPLICATED CASES FROM THEM DIRECTLY.

As we are currently dealing with mainly birds in our care, we have concentrated our efforts on BIRD helpsheets first. Hedghogs, Foxes, Badgers etc will all follow over the next few weeks. 

SUMMER MADNESS...

 

Its currently breeding season for our UK birds, this means there are lots of young birds around getting a taste for life. Many of these birds end up in your garden, unable to fly. This is perfectly natural and given a few days they should be on their way. The parents stay close by and feed them during their "grounded" time. Please try not to interfere with these birds unless you are concerned about the health or safety of them. Please contact us before touching them. 

 

The first link below can be used for garden birds. (a more detailed "What to do" ) can be found under these guide. The second one is for seagulls.

 

Separate help sheets will be added for Corvids (Crows. Jackdaws etc), Pigeons and Owls shortly.

 

 

So you've found a baby bird. This is a flowchart of the various

situations where small garden birds (NOT GULLS) may need to be helped. Where we note veterinary help, they may refer you to a wildlife sanctuary. This is not an issue as long as the bird is not injured in any way. This is why we recommend a vet check first if there is no other option. 

 

 

 

 

So you've found a baby gull  This is a leaflet designed specifically for GULLS, we find alot of the gulls that come into veterinary practices and rescues, actually don't need to come in.

 

Hopefully this guide will help with any decision making you need to do.

 

As always we are here to help if you get stuck, please see our FB page and Message us for help.
