How We Care For Birds

Best practices and caring for birds

Be it captive bred Falcons, Hawks or Owls we use for our activities, or wild birds that come to us needing help, each get the same priority and care, to the highest standards.

Health and hygiene
Our hygiene standards are very important as expected, with the same application to equipment, with each aviary deep cleaned three to four times per week, with considerable uses of bleach and disinfectants eradicating any potential hygiene threat.
Our aviaries are refurbished throughout, twice yearly to cope with the change of seasons, giving birds in our care, a good mind set, magnolia for spring and summer keeping birds cool, with gray and blue for autumn and winter, with indoor units cleaned and refurbished on a ready to use basis.

On arrival.
When wild birds come to us, some are in a desperate situation, needing long term care, on the other hand, some just need a good feed and check over, with all healthy wild birds returned to the wild, with disabled birds found homes and recovered captive bred birds returned to their owners when found.

Cases and success rates
Between 85% and 94% having developed over the years various techniques and remedies etc, such as solving problems such as bumble foot, broken wings and legs, devising specialist items of equipment, formulas to rid poisons.

Dealing with shot and poisoned birds, some people are quite surprised that birds in desperate situations recover, we just take it a part of what we do through many years of experience and working with other like minded people, in line with our objectives, putting birds to sleep always as a last resort, not the first option.

Rotation of birds
Apart from those in isolation, birds are continually moved from one accommodation to another, looking out at each other, giving them a mind set.
Those with us for various reason, are not prisoners, nor do we tether birds in aviaries, we love all birds in our care, so work with them as family members, in addition, our birds always have various personalities when they see us, we mean making a noise in their own specific ways, we believe, it is a way of knowing when they are happy or not.
