This area of the website is dedicated to current rescues of injured birds. We are seeking your help…

If you have time to look in your local area or if you accidently come across the birds listed here can you please call our rescue hotline immediately – 0404 118 301. We would ask that you stay with the bird to keep an eye on it. It’s very important that you make no attempt to catch the bird. This will only spook it and make our job of catching it much more difficult.

Please visit back here for updates of new rescues that you may be able to assist us with. Thank you for your time and for caring enough to help our feathered friends.
