Firstly, I know I use this photo alot but it’s my favourite and Spartacus deserves the recognition. I have been reading a lot of posts on wildlife rescue pages about issues with Local Authorities. One rescue that I greatly admire has even decided to relocate. This is simply unacceptable and grossly unfair. Local Authorities shouldContinue reading “Local Authorities & Wildlife”

Suggestions Please
So I mentioned a while back that I am writing a book about our rescue – the trials etc and also about how nature helps people grow and cope. Anyway, I wanted to pop the start here. it’s not been edited and is a very rough draft but I just need some suggestions: how doesContinue reading “Suggestions Please”
Spring Fever
As the lighter nights start to settle in I prepare myself for the plants coming back to life. I promise myself that this year I’ll actually grow things in my vegetable garden that don’t immediately get eaten by my chickens. I start to look forward to spending more time outside without getting covered in mud.Continue reading “Spring Fever”
New Year New Problems
2021 hasn’t got off to the best of starts for us at Every Feather. I can only hope that it intends to be one of those slow off the mark type of years – one that makes you think nothing will change and then everything suddenly gets good. We lost the beautiful Boo. I hadContinue reading “New Year New Problems”
Glad To See The Back of 2020
I, like many, will be glad to see the back of 2020. It’s been one of those years that has continued to surprise me in particularly new and inventive ways. This year will go down in history due to Lockdowns and Covid-19. It will forever be remembered as the year that brought nearly the wholeContinue reading “Glad To See The Back of 2020”
Wildlife Saves Lives
This year has perhaps been one of the hardest. There has been Lockdowns, different Tiers and different Rules. I’ve not been allowed to spend time with my friends. The usual things I look forward to like “veranda time” in the Summer, or Bake Off Nights have all been cancelled due to new rules and regulations.Continue reading “Wildlife Saves Lives”
Back in Lockdown
So we have headed back into a month long lockdown. I read someone say that this would be worse than the last one because of the terrible weather – I’m not sure they were wrong. Last time we had sunshine and that made long walks in the country a little more enticing. Now the frostContinue reading “Back in Lockdown”
Missing in Action
Firstly, I apologise for the lack of posts of late. Unfortunately we had to temporarily close after my sister had a bad accident a month ago. She spent nearly three weeks in hospital, had two operations and is thankfully home. Sadly she also has to spend the next few weeks not walking so I haveContinue reading “Missing in Action”
Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit
We have always been quite cautious about taking in anything we aren’t confident about dealing with. It’s why if we accept hedgehogs, bats or birds of prey they are sent on to our specialist friends as soon as possible. When we decide to expand from just birds into wildlife I did as much research asContinue reading “Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit”
To Pet or Not To Pet
This year’s lockdown has caused an increase in birds being handraised by finders. With the influx of patients coming to rescues it is sometimes virtually impossible to find one that is still open – so who can blame people for trying to raise baby birds themselves? I certainly can’t when even I know how frustratingContinue reading “To Pet or Not To Pet”
