Partridge Released after Broken Wing Injury

ByJon

This beautiful male Partridge was brought to us by staff at the City Hospital Nottingham. He lived with his partner in the hospital grounds, but had received an injury to his wing, breaking it.

The break was on a joint, so we didn’t have too much hope that we’d be able to release him back in the wild with his partner. However after 6 weeks with the wing bound and a couple of weeks restrengthening his wing the an aviary, he was able to be released back into the wild and be reunited with his girlfriend. Such a great end.

    Solomon and Latchley

    These two guys were taking in by us in 2010 and re-homed, unfortunately things didn’t work out and today their back with us. These two castrated pygmy goats are very friendly and need to be re-homed together. They need a field or large garden, with secure fencing and somewhere to sleep and escape from the sun, wind and rain.
