Hand Rearing baby Swifts – Updated 1 August 2010

These two guys were found orphaned, a member of the public was doing a great job in hand rearing them and feeding them with the right food, this is often not the case.

If you find an orphaned wild animal, keep it warm, dry and quiet, do not attempt to force feed it or give it the wrong food.

1/8/10 – These guys were released this morning at 5am.
