Brinsea ICU Incubator eco 50 & Equipment

As you may know I have been rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife over the past few months. I volunteer for West Cornwall Wildlife Volunteers who have been inundated this year due to COVID-19 forcing the closure of many other centres. Over the last few months, I have cared for over 30 gull Herring gulls, 2 greater Black Backed Gulls, 2 sparrows, 5 house Martins, 2 Swallows, 7 Jackdaws, 2 pigeons, 2 Magpies, 2 Buzzards, 2 Crows, a Shag and a Jay as well many others who were just passing through!

Regulated warmth is vital especially to young birds who are not able to regulate their own body temperature, it is also an important factor in treating shock. I have been using a heat pad or lamp but these are not so easily regulated so I would like to have an incubator. The group don't receive any funding and rely completely on donations to carry on their work, supporting and caring for wildlife to release back into the wild. I would like to be able to help more by having improved facilities. I would like to raise funds towards purchasing a Brinsea TLC 50 Advance ICU which has a car adaptor and a digital thermostat with an alarm so care can begin immediately.

I am taking part in Open Studios Cornwall and will also be raising funds through sales of my artwork etc. which you can learn more about from my website www.suzysharpeartist.com
