You guys are AWESOME.

Thank you so so much to all of you who have donated from our Amazon wishlist. It means so much to us, the only formula we had left was our emergency higher energy stuff so I had babies going off their rockers at me for even more food even though they were completely full and bouncing off the walls 🤣

I know we are currently closed but every single cage is currently full and I have babies left right and centre shouting at me.

We have a couple of canker pigeons in, a potential pmv, nine babies, two catted, one with young bird sickness and one with severe leg splay. Two older fledglings, one with foot sores and another severely underweight oddly with no flight feathers, and two doves in quarantine, one with a beak deformity.

All but three are partially dependent on formula feeding, so the feeding, washing up, cleaning etc takes up so so much time.

📌 Despite being closed, over the last 72 hours I have received (no word of a lie) 14 messages and 8 phone calls.
I therefore have taken the decision to set up an automated message on this account and will not be actively monitoring our Inbox, and have temporarily removed our phone number, as I find it so difficult to say no and if I take in any more at this point, I won't be able to maintain care standards for the birds I currently have and also myself.

We are again at capacity. Therefore we cannot take in any more birds.

We are also running incredibly low on supplies such as formula and critical care and I'm going to have to dip into emergency funds just to care for the ones that are currently with us.

We have multiple birds in that need regural feeds because they're so underweight, and all our brooders, isolated cages and heat pads are being used.

We have so many right now in isolation and in critical and can't keep up. I hate that we are going to have to say no to any further intakes but I physically have no where else now to put anyone.

There is severe canker going around now too which will only spread further with all the rainfall we've had.

Please keep feeders and water bowls as clean as possible in gardens etc to help with the spread. Hopefully we will be able to open again soon.

We've got a few birds with us that need adoption homes.

I'd prefer all three to go to a home where an aviary is available, especially the woodies. Both the woodies could go together if there are no other birds.

There is no adoption fee for these guys, I just want to find them somewhere suitable and species appropriate.

Please message me if you think you can help at all!

We hate asking, but we're running super low on formula for all the babies we have in! If anyone could help us out and grab some off our amazon wishlist, we'd be so grateful. ❤️

Two teeny tiny woodies brought in to us this evening, both only a day or two old!

We thought, maybe Fable will adopt them, heck no! That lady was having none of it! However, her daughter, Cheddar, accepted them like a duck to water!

That makes my life a little easier 😅

I give them plenty of other nice soft areas, but no, the best place will always be in the food bowl!!These are my last t...

I give them plenty of other nice soft areas, but no, the best place will always be in the food bowl!!

These are my last two woodies still indoors currently, waiting until they're bigger and older before they can go outside into the aviary to wild up! They're eating super well by themselves already, but haven't yet grasped how to fly and use the branches!

📌 Land needed for a pigeon rescue aviary

We are desperately looking for a small piece of land in or around the Rugby area where we could set up some aviaries for our pigeon rescue.

Our biggest need is space for a loft-style aviary for feral pigeons, allowing them the freedom to come and go each day while still having a safe, permanent base to return to. This would allow us to care for pigeons who cannot simply be released straight back into the wild, while giving them the opportunity to live as naturally and freely as possible.

The site would be managed by two experienced wildlife rehabbers, including Millie & the Moorhen Wildlife Rescue and we would visit regularly to feed, clean and maintain the aviaries. We are not looking to live on the land, run a business from it or have constant public access. We simply need somewhere safe and suitable to give these birds the space they need.

If you own, know of, or have access to a small piece of suitable land, a corner of a field, an unused paddock, stable yard or similar in the Rugby area, please get in touch with us.

We know this is a big ask, but finding the right space could make an enormous difference to the number of pigeons we are able to help.

Please also share this post if you can! You never know who might have the perfect little piece of land available.

Name ideas please!!!

This little one is an Afghan pigeon cross, and it's just the cutest little thing!
We're unsure currently on the gender but they will be joining us hopefully as an ambassador bird for our future plans to educate the public about how amazing pigeons can be.

But we're really stuck on a name for them! What's the first name that pops into your head?

Another delivery of bird seed, I seem to be getting through this quicker than ever!!

Also a huge thankyou needed to all those who have donated to our aviary fundraiser, I'm very excited to start it's build when we get a chance!

Another big thank you for donations received including another tub of avipro and some easichick.

We are starting to run low on formula and critical care, especially with all the babies that we have been getting in. If anyone could help us out there we would be incredibly appreciative ❤️

Thank you again for everyone's continued support. Four more young woodies were able to be released this morning, which brings this summer's baby woodie release total so far to eighteen, with even more still to go! Those birds would never have got this second chance at life without all of you.

Please don't share my address.

I absolutely want to help as many pigeons as I can, and I know that people sometimes share my details with the best intentions. However, please do not give my home address to anyone else.

I am absolutely exhausted and burnt out at the moment. Having someone unexpectedly turn up at your home is kinda unexpected.

My rescue is run from my home, but my home address is still my personal address. Please don't pass it on to friends, members of the public, or anyone else who needs help with a bird.

If someone needs to bring a pigeon to me, please send them directly to me through my page so that I can arrange the handover myself.

Yes, I want to help pigeons.
No, I don't want my personal address being shared.

Thank you for understanding and helping me keep a little bit of privacy around my home.
