Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Enclosure
Donation protected
Hi,
We have set up a new GoFundMe page to help us raise funds to build a new soft release enclosure for injured birds of prey in Louth.
As a lot of you know we are volunteer rehabilitators who can assist a number of Irish Wildlife Charities to provide care and assistance for birds of prey which have been injured and who need dedicated treatment and rehabilitation. We have been highly trained and therefore can assist on in a more dedicated way as these birds need particular care.
We take in all types of birds of prey. Buzzards are our regular patients especially as we have a high population here in Co Louth but we also deal with Kestrels, Sparrowhawks, Peregrine Falcons to name but a few.
Our birds come to us for many reasons, they might have been attacked, poisoned or found weak maybe from collisions so each case requires its own separate assessment and treatment plan. Some might need a week to recuperate while others might need time for feathers to regrow which takes that bit longer or a medication course to be completed.
There has been an increase in public awareness for our Wildlife which while this is encouraging it also means that our resources have to be stretched. We decided we needed to increase our holding capacity and have designed a new enclosure to help us out. This will offer space for soft release where we can place our birds to build their strength to fly high once again.
If you would like to help us out, donating to our GoFundMe would be an incredible way to do so. Any donation big or small would be so gratefully received.
Yvette and Nicola
