🦉 Tawny Owl Update
This brave little Tawny Owl is still undergoing intensive treatment for canker — a serious and potentially life-threatening infection.
Thankfully, the canker is now starting to die off, and some of the infected tissue is breaking away. However, this is a very delicate stage. Canker can attach to blood vessels, and if the tissue is removed too early or accidentally dislodged, there’s a real risk of severe bleeding.
It’s absolutely heartbreaking, but she’s in expert hands and is showing hopeful signs of improvement. 💛

🏥 Help Us Build Our New Wildlife Hospital
We’re working hard to open a fully equipped wildlife hospital to help more animals just like her. If you can, please consider donating — any amount truly helps.

Following on from the previous post, regarding trichomoniasis, or canker, here is a little video to show what it looks like.
NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED OR SQUEAMISH!

Here is a tawny owl, recently found in a garden, very unwell, suffering with an extreme case of frounce and covered in fly strike.
Frounce is the common name for the disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas gallinae in birds of prey, such as hawks, owls, and falcons.

It's the same parasite that causes "canker" in pigeons and doves.
She is still receiving treatment at Woody's and showing signs of improvement. Fingers crossed for her.
If this moves you, and you're able to, please consider donating to our fundraising page, doesn't matter how small an amount, it's all needed and appreciated. Thanks.

Did you know that there are teams of dedicated people who seek out birds (mainly pigeons) who have string foot. This is where they get something caught around their toes which cuts off the blood supply and eventually it can result in them losing their foot. These volunteers capture the bird, remove the debris and treat the wound.
This picture and write up is courtesy of London Pigeon Stringfoot and rescue.
🐦 Stringfoot Sunday at Green Park & St James Park 🐦
Twenty four of us met up at Green Park including seven new pigeon loving members!

It was a very busy day in a very busy area and as well as destringing lots of pigeons in both parks, a goose was also helped!

As often happens, we picked up a number of poorly patients along the way who needed to come into the care of our wonderful rehabbers so we had a very productive day.

We met lots of kind people who were interested in what we were doing and were keen to watch and see the huge difference destringing makes to these pigeons lives.

It was a great day!

Lots of happy feet! 🩵

I just want to apologies for not answering your calls. We are still full to the brim and I am finding it very hard to cope with the mess and disfunction of running the rescue all within the house. I know things will be better when the new unit is finished but until then I am at breaking point. The emotional stress is crippling me. I know that I am the nearest rescue to most of you.? But I just can’t do it any more.
Please go to helpwildlife Uk for other rescues near you x
If you find a baby bird, please get them warm,hot water bottle, warm cloth and wrap them up so they stay warm, the sun alone will not keep the baby warm, to how it should be. Do NOT attempt to give water, contact a rescue for more advise. But warmth is a life saver.
If you find a Corvid, magpie, jackdaw, crow etc, if it’s on the ground and cannot fly and the parents are no where to be seen, then the bird needs immediate help, agin make safe and if needed get them on a hot water bottle.
