The Ant and the Dove

A thirsty ant went to a river to drink but lost his balance and fell into the water. A dove, seeing the ant in distress, quickly plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and dropped it into the water near the ant. The ant climbed onto the leaf and floated safely to the riverbank. He was so grateful for the dove's kindness.
Later, a hunter came to the forest and aimed his gun at the dove, intending to shoot her. The ant, seeing the danger, quickly bit the hunter's ankle. The hunter cried out in pain, dropping his gun. The loud noise scared the dove, who immediately flew away to safety. The ant had repaid the dove's kindness by saving her life.

Moral: A single act of kindness deserves another.

A big part of rehab is physio, not just medicating and raising chicks.
When it finally looks like there is time to do somethng for ourselves, a new patient arrives.

We admit currently around 24 birds per day.
Our highest number was 42birds on one day.

So, it would have been lovely to do personal updates, however we dont have full time volunteers, and it is not humanly possible to do 8 loads laundry a day, care for birds, intake new birds, run my household, and do updates.

Thank you for understanding.

Icu is not in the videos. Not all birds will feature in every video or photo post.

We are doing this post while doing physio with Samsung our Water Thick-knee.

What have you contributed today toward wild bird rescue?

National Bird Day celebrated annually on January 5th

CapeNature permitted to service the Greater Cape peninsula.

Our goal is always to raise awareness about bird conservation, specie protection and ethical treatment.

We are highly against wild birds kept captive, as this forms part of illegal bird trade and goes against the healthy role birds play in the ecosystem.

Support nature conservation from today, help us with our ongoing education efforts, and promoting bird-friendly actions.

Invite us to your group, to talk about what to do when you find an injured wild bird. Also explaining our role as a permitted rehabilitation centre.
