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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

As alot of you will know the minority of wildlife rescue in the UK is done in large centres. The majority of the work is done by small back garden rescues – which is why it has always infuriated me when people make comments about how wildlife rescues don’t belong in back gardens, or howContinue reading “Hats Off to Back Garden Rescues”

Baby Bird Season this year has probably been the craziest yet. I currently have a nursery of baby corvids that are feed on demand – this includes lots of baby crows, magpies, rooks and a little baby jay. These are my absolute favourite to raise but they are a huge commitment – feeds can’t reallyContinue reading “Crazy Crazy Crazy Time”

I started this rescue because I love animals, wildlife and helping. I trained, did courses and made contacts with vets and other organisations. I wanted to run the best rescue i could. What i never really thought about was Baby Bird Season. I had no clue of the chaos it brought or the constant callsContinue reading “Angels Everywhere”
