I don’t know about you but I strongly believe in karma. I believe that life works in circles – that our behaviour and the way we behave in situations will always influence how we are treated going forward. It’s always nice to believe that bad people will get their just deserts – and sometimes becauseContinue reading “Circles”

I know my blogs aren’t always wildlife related – it’s more of a journal really to show you the other side of rescue – the more personal side if that makes sense. With baby bird season we see a lot of babies coming in who want to survive – some manage and some sadly don’t.Continue reading “Survival”

Most people know that I am absolutely obsessed with my chickens and my stag turkey Spartacus. Most people also know that for the last several months these chickens and turkey have been put undercover due to Avian Flu regulations. It’s hard as a chicken keeper when we have to lock up our normally free-ranging littleContinue reading “HenLove”

I was thinking about how long it has been since I last did a Post and decided now was a good time. It’s my last day at work (my full-time employment that pays for the rescue) until the New Year and I know things will get busy and hopefully festive from here on out. IContinue reading “What I Learned in 2021!”

This is one of the phrases that I’ve grown to hate and struggle to understand. It’s the phrase that people say to me when they have an injured animal or bird and they can’t be bothered to bring it in. It’s a phrase I just don’t understand. It actually feels a little hypocritical for anyContinue reading “Let Nature Take Its Course”

So things have been pretty busy at Every Feather for the last few months – and that’s in part why I haven’t managed to update the blog. We closed the doors for a little while – did some moving around and re-organising and have opened our doors slowly again. We are at the Leigh OrnithologicalContinue reading “UPDATE”

So after our Facebook post yesterday about Potato we had a couple of people questionning our decision not to have him put to sleep. I thought I’d write a blog on this because it isn’t an easy decision to make and I can’t seem to explain it in just a few short sentences. Each rescueContinue reading “The Big Decision”

So every year around April I start to talk about how much I love baby magpie time. I think everyone in rescue knows how much I love raising these little birds. They are so intelligent and are a quick study so you have to keep them wild and best with more than just one soContinue reading “The Year of the Corvid”

The plight of cockerels has been something we have highlighted before on our Facebook. Around this time of year schools /nurseries run hatching projects and the result of these tend to be a large number of cockerels that nobody is willing to home. Places like Lucky Hens in Wigan have devoted their space to homingContinue reading “Cockerels”

A few days ago a friend of mine told me that one of her close friends had tragically taken her own life. It’s something I hear far too much. A few years ago now my sister attempted to take her own life due to an ongoing threat to the safe place she had found forContinue reading “What We Don’t Talk About”
