Wildlife rehabilitation: We have many years experience hand-rearing orphan birds, and dealing with orphaned and injured mammals, with the intention to release them back into the wild when they are fit and able.

*** DISCLAIMER: A SAD STORY ***
This is Willy, a fledgling blue tit. Willy was picked up while out practicing flying and foraging alongside his siblings. After a few days of exercising, Willy would have flown off and started his own life. His parents were nearby when Willy was taken away after the finder figured he needed help and didn't call for advice. Willy was taken inside the house and placed in a cage for 1 week and was being fed scrambled eggs, biscuits and apple juice by the children of the household. Willy's health started going downhill and the finder decided he needed to be seen by professionals. Despite our best efforts, Willy died later that evening.
Please do not pick up any wildlife unless it is obviously injured or unwell. Always call for advice prior to acting. We are running massively understaffed due to COVID-19 and we need everyone to help us prevent unnecessary/harmful rescues. No human will do as good of a job as a parent bird, deer or rabbit, and situations aren't always what they seem! Most casualties require veterinary expertise and treatment, an appropriate diet and the company of their own kind. Please do not try to do this at home, caring for wildlife is not something to be attempted for fun, there are serious legal, ethical and welfare considerations to be made when caring for wildlife and should only be attempted by experienced people. Always call a wildlife rescue centre for advice regarding any concerns for an animal.
