Some, are near death due to starvation, some smaller less obvious injury may well prevent them from hunting, this goes unnoticed, until, no longer with the strength to fly they are found, usually by someone out for a walk, in a sorry bedraggled heap in the undergrowth.

Many youngsters are brought along by well meaning members of the public, who think they have found an abandoned Owlet, once taken away from the vicinity of their parents, their fate is sealed, they have to be reared and looked after until they are old enough and strong enough to be released back into the wild again. To rear them and not to imprint them on humans, so that they can live their lives freely and in the wild as nature intended, is a skilled job that requires both patience and determination.

Sadly, each year, encouraged by flights of fancy in some literature and films, more and more Owls, of all species, are finding themselves in the dubious and less than privileged position of being a PET! An idea that started out as exciting, believing, wrongly, that Owls eat toast and orange juice for Breakfast, can very quickly become a nightmare, when faced with the reality of an Owls diet, and toilet habits.

All of these Owls need love, that is the easy bit! Practically, they also need, Veterinary care, correct diet, and housing.

We always strive to release back into the wild all those strong and fit enough to return to their old lives, but, and it is a big but, many who’s injuries have been too severe, will never be able to return to the wild.

Owls that have been mistreated as pets, need the security of knowledgeable care, and a place to live.

Veterinary care is very expensive, when an Owl comes in it needs to have it’s injuries treated, sometimes they only require worming and nutritional supplements, sometimes they require a great deal more, perhaps they have a broken wing or leg.

We help them all, and we hope you may help us to continue, by, if you can, donating generously. Please try!!!!!!!!!!!!
