Rescue, Rehabilitate, Release. ❤️

After just over four weeks in our care, these two beautiful birds of prey have been successfully released. 🦅🦉

Both birds were found grounded, underweight, and suffering from exhaustion. After a thorough examination by our veterinary team, we were relieved to find no injuries or infections. 🙌

With a clean bill of health, we focused on their recovery, providing proper nutrition and a carefully structured rehabilitation plan.
This enabled them to regain strength, muscle mass, and the stamina needed for a successful return to the wild. 💪

As with all our wild bird rescues, we follow a very strict hands-off approach (unless medical attention is necessary).
We avoid talking to or around them, as this causes significant stress that can hinder their recovery, so a huge thank you to our dedicated animal care team 👏, whose expertise and continued commitment ensure that every animal receives the highest level of care.👏

It is always a rewarding moment to witness these majestic creatures take flight once again. 🕊️✨

We hope you enjoy these short but incredibly rewarding videos of their release! 🎥
Both birds were returned to the exact locations where they were found. ❤️🌳

Worried about an injured raptor? 🦅

Did you know at the haven we’re dedicated to helping wild birds of prey on the island.

Our mission is to rehabilitate injured raptors and get them back into the wild where they belong.✨️

If you spot an injured bird of prey, the best thing to do is get them to a vet as soon as possible, however if that’s not an option, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! 🙏

We’re here to help and we will ensure these incredible creatures receive the care they need. 🩺

Message us directly on our social media — We monitor our DMs regularly. 📩

On Remembrance Sunday, we honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who served—humans and animals alike.🫶

Animals played an essential role in wartime, from messenger pigeons to cavalry horses and service dogs, each one giving their all in the fight for freedom. ❤️

Today, we remember them all, with deep gratitude and respect.

Lest we forget." 🌸

Monkey Haven - Our happy sanctuary

Swing on by to Monkey Haven – the happiest attraction in town! The award-winning primate rescue centre and sanctuary is a favourite on TripAdvisor and a recent winner of best small attraction in England.

Come along and meet our wonderful family, including whooping gibbons, mischievous monkeys, naughty meerkats, incredible reptiles and beautiful birds of prey, that have all been rescued and given a new lease of life. They have such fun…and you will too.

There are keeper talks and animal feeds throughout the day, where you can find out all about our awesome animals and they came to be here. You can also get up close to hand-reared birds of prey at the daily talks – just pop along to ‘Have a hoot with the owls’ or learn to handle a snake at ‘Reptile Rendezvous’.

Our mission is to provide a happy Haven for rescued animals. Many of the animals we care for have been rescued from the cruel pet trade and are very rare. Monkey Haven is a registered charity and all proceeds from your visit will help the animals you’ll meet and enable us to rescue more animals in need of care.
