Gloria Released at Bird Sanctuary

Gloria came to us from a member of the public when she was found wandering on Ikea car park.  She was loved by all of our visitors at our sanctuary and will be missed.

For her safety she lived in our large aviary, we had rehomed her once where she had access to a pond with other ducks, but this sweet little girl was bullied by the other ducks so she was returned.

We have now released her at a bird sanctuary at Reg Taylors in Southwell, there she can enjoy large ponds and be protected by predator proof fencing. We miss her, but know that she is now free and safe.
