Hello everyone! Whilst we are all waiting through this filthy weather, stressing about food deliveries and all animals staying warm enough (ourselves included) I thought I’d share a bit of education. Lots of love! Enjoy.

After months in care (Lorrie collision) this lovely boy has finally been fully rehabilitated. Off to the wild where he belongs. Long life, many children, handsome! The bones healed in 5 weeks but the soft tissue damage was extensive and took far longer to heal then to rehabilitate for full flight. All falconidae have to reach a 95% + of their full pre-injury flight ability before release, because they must be able to manoeuvre to avoid predators (they are still technically mesopredators) and they have to be able to hover and hit prey at speed. He’s a mature male and we have every confidence in him. ❤️‍🩹 Really enjoyed sharing this release with eager children. They are our next generation of rehabbers!

Gutted… lost a 13 year old barn owl to the storm 😭 I should be prepared, so many here are really geriatric. But it always hurts. Thank Gd everyone else is handling it. Lots of food and prayers. Sigh.

UPDATE: SORTED, bird in care, thank you! 😍❤️‍🩹. Heads up everyone! PLEASE HELP! We need someone to help transport a lovely Tawny owl from Aviemore to Blue Highlands Bird Rescue here in Brora. He’s stable and ready for the trip but we do not have ambulatory service. If you or anyone you know can help, it’s just a simple box but a special life depends upon it! ❤️‍🩹 PM me please

Here’s a snippet from one of the 2 children’s talks in Lairg. They were so engaging and enthusiastic and so beautifully behaved🌹. Such a pleasure to share knowledge and passion for wildlife with the next generation. Bless…

FOR THOSE WHO COULDN’T ATTEND and were asking for footage: Here is a small snippet of a bird talk in Lairg day before yesterday. There were three engagements, two for about 100 children at Lairg School, then the adult talk was held at the Learning Centre. This covered briefly the catastrophic Vulture population collapse in Africa, due to tribal beliefs about medicines and using vulturine body parts. Fun fact: vultures can completely neutralise ANTHRAX if ingested. They are the world’s sanitation dept. and save us from so many diseases. Then we covered the historical importance of vultures, owls, and other birds of prey (in that order) in their vital roles as our immunity against disease. The talks were several hours long but here’s a small bit for those interested.

Hello!

Welcome to Blue Highlands! We are so pleased you could join us in our efforts to help countless birds including raptors and threatened / endangered species. As well as 24/7 crisis care we work hard to rehabilitate and wild release every native bird that we can.

We are a safe haven for our feathered friends - abused and confiscated birds, those that need refuge or long term care, electrocution victims, those suffering after impact injuries, gun shot wounds, and those who topple or escape from nests or predators....we are here.

Birds also come to us from other welfare centres and organisations like the SSPCA, court cases, vets, zoos, and especially concerned members of the public. From Eurasian Eagle Owls to song birds, from Snowy Owls to rooks, we offer a forever home to the disabled, rehabilitation for the injured, and hope for the hurt.

Our work also includes genetically diverse breeding programmes which help ensure that species such as the rare Hyacinthine Macaw, Edwards Pheasants and the Crested Roul-Roul will be conserved for all of our grandchildren to see—even if they disappear entirely from the wild. Enjoy the education, and if you can do, join us in our efforts!
