Return to the Wild Blog
Here you’ll see a few of our patients. We have a lot of youngsters in the spring and summer, perhaps because they’ve fallen from a nest in a storm, or the result of a logging operation or building demolition. At all times in the year we take in adults that have been struck by cars, either while on the wing or because the bird was scavenging road-kill. Our vet is an expert in avian medicene, and without her we couldn’t do what we do!
