Another day and another bird of prey, we now have 7 Tawny owls with us. This chap got himself caught in netting at a school, thankfully workmen on site built a scaffold to get access to him so he could be freed and brought to us. We carefully removed the remains of the net that was entangled around his talons. He’ll remain with us under supervision before being moved into an aviary to prepare for release.
Every week without fail, we receive a call or an email asking us to take on more pets. We have a non-destruct policy, we never destroy an animal unless it is in the animals best interest, due to ill health or injury. Therefore we can only take in more animals when we create space by re-homing. But too often,…

The relentless calls to take on pigs never eases. Lukilly for this trio we had space created by rehoming others. These three brothers are three years old, all castrated and super friendly, now looking for a forever home. Pigs do make amazing and rewarding pets, as long as you do your research and cater for…
We took in a grounded Barn Owl chick some weeks ago which we have hand reared. Once he was eating food own his own, we moved him to our large aviary, as it’s essential to minimise human contact with wild animals. If they get too tame, this can seriously threaten their chances of survival or…
