RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Hey guys. Quick update.
So we have had lots of babies in recently.
We now have four baby tawnys in total, and all four are eating by themselves, even the one with the damaged beak. Unfortunately we are unable to release any of these birds. We have also a baby barn owl that is 20 days old. Two baby jackdaws that look like they will be able to be released. And we had 5 young blue tits brought in. Two didn't make it, the rest were released. Oh and a very young pair of baby doves. We also had a very young blackbird brought in that had been brought in by someone's cat, but unfortunately it died within minutes.
We also have an adult tawny owl brought in that is missing one eye but is doing very well. Mostly good news, which is great, wild baby birds don't tend to do so well so to have so many thriving is fantastic.
My day today has literally been syringe feeding birds all day. Oh and giving a bath to the two baby doves who were covered in god knows what. The water was black coming off them. Bless them.
What fantastic work you do! Must feel so rewarding to help these innocent creatures survive and often thrive.
