It's coming up to that time of year where the weather is getting colder and resources are running low. We ask all our supporters to please help out our birds in any way possible!

Whether it is leaving food scraps or seed out for the birds and making sure they have access to clean water!

Due to controversial behaviour on behalf of the admissions from the cat group we will no longer accept any requests for wildlife rescuing from Ipswich Missing Cats (UK) (apologies but we do not tolerate such behaviour which includes discrimination, personal agendas etc).

Thank you!

What a mess. My cat has gone missing and although most people there have been amazing, I had to deal with some horrible admins on ipswich missing cats. It's hard enough being a devastated wreck....and deal with the potential cruelties of life....Well Rest in peace Silvy. We will miss you. Getting ran over literally outside our flat. But if we neutered you....you would have been resistant to car accidents 😅 cheers Cindy for the advice. If only we neutered him ay? Maybe that car would have gotten wrecked and he'd have used his super neutered powers to stop him dying. Oh what a life.

Anyway, I'll be crying on my sofa bed hugging his toys and memorabilia tonight as I lay with a heavy, heavy heart. I'll kiss goodnight all my rescues and thank my lucky stars that out there everywhere, there are people who care...and there are animals I've managed to save. And I'll be happy for all the lives saved but also mourning the lives lost. Still, I will never forget how precious life is ❤

You might remember Miss Chicken 🥰 sent all the way from Ipswich to near Lancaster. She's having a happy life, and we keep getting amazing updates!! Just look how happy she's become! More updates coming, I've just been a little ill so will update as soon as I can!

Thank you to Ren Walmsley for being an amazing pigeon mum! Looking at the photos and videos Chicken is definitely loved and seems so happy! Here's to a great life for the three of you 🥰

(Photo just before sending her off to her new home. She has corvidae battle scars. Magpies and crows tend to injure other birds for fun by paralysing. Hence the wing scars, missing tail and paralysis in legs and the small scars on head). She looks like a little chicken, and she's an amazing pidge mcpigeon!!

Second photo is her in her new forever home 🥰🥰🥰

With every rescue, comes a possibility of failure. This week, out of 27 we lost 2 beautiful souls. Rest in peace, Sid the pigeon and Puffball the robin...You still found your wings, just not in the way that we all hoped....💔

Sid had been malnourished and had declined quite drastically. Tests were done, and unfortunately there was nothing we could do, we only had hope on our side. We took drastic measures and provided as much intensive care (tube feeding, bathing, meds rounds etc) as we could. However Sid sadly didn't make it.

Puffball the robin was very vocal, and quite fiesty upon assessment however declined rapidly. It I sad how quickly cat saliva can kill, and sometimes antibiotics don't work fast enough....

Fly free, you beautiful angels 🕊🥺

Got brought in a baby Robin! Very active and loud, with no visible injuries. Was found near two of its siblings (both sadly didn't make it).

Well, Puffball (a.k.a Puffy) seems to have a lot of fight in him, and has settled quite nicely 😍😊

We are appealing to anyone who would like to adopt a pet pigeon! A lady has 12 pigeons that are at risk of being culled and cannot bring them with her to her new home.

Please share wherever possible!!

This is Sid!

He has joined us on a journey to recovery!! It is suspected that he has neurological problems so he will need a forever home as with his condition he is unreleasable.

We will keep him quarantined for 3 months, run some tests and get him fattened up! He's very underweight, so slow and steady does it.

Sid the little fighter ❤🥰

We usually don't like asking for help, as we are aware that everyone is struggling with cost of living and the chaos of us all just getting by....but, we are kindly asking for help! And donations would be greatly appreciated, as the numbers of birds we take in have skyrocketed this year!!

We accept any donation, big or small (material donation is preferred)
- Old newspapers
- Cardboard boxes (we line cages with them)
- Plastic tupperware
- Spare cages or cat carriers you might have
- Seed?
- Puppy pads?

Thank you for any and all contributions to our rescue project! It means a lot!

We are experiencing a high amount of messages recently! We may be a little bit slower at replying but we will get back to you as soon as possible! Also, we do encourage tagging our page in other groups, pages and profiles as that means we are able to provide more timely responses with advice and guidance directly to the rescuer/finder! So thank you!!

- If you find an injured bird please try to contain it in a box (with holes) or a cat carrier. Do not give it food or water until we have done a full assessment.

- If a bird has flown into a window, wall, or any object please contain the bird in a box (with holes to breathe) and ensure it is away from loud noises and other animals/pets. Do NOT feed or give it water when the bird is concussed. It should be okay within 24 hours. If the condition doesn't improve after that time then give us a shout!

- It has been HOT and temperatures seem to be on the high right now so PLEASE, PLEASE, give our garden birds shallow dishes filled with water (preferably on ledges or on higher up surfaces, but also please do place some on the ground too, for the foraging wildlife!)

- It's almost the end of nesting season for most birds but if you are unsure whether a bird needs help just send us a message with a video and or photo of the bird and we can decide the best course of action!

- Remember,: we specialise in pigeon and dove rehabilitation and rescue, however, we also take care of garden birds such as blackbirds, t**s, finches, wrens, thrushes, corvid species (magpies, jackdaws, crows, eurasian jays, etc), robins, starlings, swifts, swallows and many more.

If you need any advice, do not hesitate!

On a side note: if you do require advice or assistance or for us to take a bird in, please include a photo or video of the bird, location and a short summary of the condition and species of the bird (where possible).

We do NOT currently have means of travel, so if you can bring it to us, we will gladly help!

All donations go straight back into veterinary care, food, medication and resources (such as puppy pads, food, bowls, cages etc)

Thank you!!

It's a bittersweet moment. I'm sad to see her go, gonna miss the 24/7 chirping and her bubbly personality but I'm so proud of how far she's come! The way she flew off into the distance, remembering our little flight training sessions...that was a very proud moment of mine.

You have grown so much, and brought so much hope and happiness! They say swifts and swallows are the first signs of spring (a.k.a new beginnings). Well you certainly brought that with you!

See you in 3 years time Sally!! 🥰

From just a small little crumb to a fully fledged swift! It seems like I will be having to plan the release date soon, which will be a little sad but so rewarding. We don't normally get swifts handed to us so it's always a special little adventure when we do get one or two in. Last time I hand reared one must have been Trixie the swift back in 2018. Fun fact(s): 1. Swifts mate for life 2. They are social birds and get quite lonely and depressed if separated from their flock. 3. Swifts can live up to 21 years of age, however the average is 5 and a half years. 4. They're extremely loyal to their nesting site coming to nest throughout the course of their lives. 5. Swifts spend the first 3 years of their life on wing (without landing even once), this includes eating, drinking, sleeping and even mating in flight! They only land to nest and raise their young. 6. Swifts are insectivores and eat solely bugs and flies throughout their lives 7. They migrate to Africa for winter, leaving UK around August. Swifts migrate 3,400 miles twice a year. 8. Swifts can reach speeds of 69 mph 9. Adult swifts eat around 20, 000 insects a day. Yep, twenty thousand. 10. Swifts are not related to martins or swallows. The closest genetic relations are to hummingbirds.
