Tonight we released four birds back into the wild.

First we released a wood pigeon that we reared from a baby chick, then we released two young collared doves and a feral pigeon. One dove was also hand reared by us, the other came to us with an infected eye.

This little chap was brought in by a cat. We are hand rearing him now until he can fend for himself, he will then be released. (more…)

These two doves were released together in early July. One came to us as a chick which was hand reared, the other had a broken leg, which was repaired prior to release.
