We don’t manage to find homes for geese too often, this year we haven’t done too bad with our third pair finding really great homes.
This pair are now living on an arable farm along with chickens and ducks.
Not everyone likes geese, they do make really good guard dogs, raising the alarm to any stragglers and they can be quite intimidating. We love them, but some of our volunteers I’m sure will be a little relieved, but it won’t be long before we are asked to rescue some more.
We have another swan in our care. This chap was found on a back lawn, it appears he crash landed hitting the house on his way. He’s been checked over and apart from a few minor injuries, the main concern is an eye injury which we are treating him for.
Although Bear came from a different home to Biscuit and Humbug, they quickly bonded and became the best of friends. When we found a home that would take all three, we were so happy for them. We took them to their new home in North Wales where they now live with ample land to explore.
All creatures great and small. These two wild mice arrived yesterday cold and dehydrated, once they had been warmed up on a heat pad, we started feeding. Over 24 hours on and still very early days, thier eyes have started to open, they are taking hourly feeds and they are quite lively. Feeding rearing milk…
Today we have rescued our first hens of 2011. Battery hens live a miserable existences and after a short life, the are sent for slaughter to maintain high egg production, in the name of cheap food.
