Today Maggie, Sky, Dorothy and Matilda arrived at their new home. We’ll miss these girls, however we’ve now got space to take in more animals, in fact there’s another pair already lined up to arrive.
Another pigeon squab arrives to be hand reared. This squab needed rescuing, he was on the floor having fallen out of the nest. Far too often fledglings are picked up which should not be disturbed. Pigeons make great parents, but they aren’t very clever at making secure nests, they often resemble a pile of twigs…
