Guardian Angels Bird Sanctuary GABS is a charity offering support to owners of problem birds as well as offering re homing and rehab

We hope to raise awareness about the correct way to care for aviary birds and larger species of parrots. We have 30 years experience in caring for these creatures and have worked for 10 years as unpaid volunteers for another bird charity. With so many birds in our care we decided to go it alone and spread the word in our own area and beyond.

With 11 days to our Open Day here is reason 3 to be one of our guests on August 3rd. How much would you pay for a go on a "Hook-a-Duck"? £5, maybe £4 if you're extremely lucky. Well, I may be sounding like I'm on a market now, but we're not asking £3, we're not even asking £2 but £1.50 will get you a go on "Our Hook-a-Duck". As you can see by my disastrous attempt it's not easy but well worth a go. The kids absolutely love it and they get to pick a prize from the hundreds on offer. You don't just get a cuddly Seagull holding a chip. So, come on down and if you've been following us for the last 3 days, you can have a go at "Roll the Ball" buy a cake or 3 and hook yourself a duck and already you could be going home with a bottle of vodka, 3 or more delicious cakes and a rubber duck that looks like Elvis. Bath nights will never be the same again.😁See you on the 3rd.

Here's today's reason to come and see us at our Open Day in 12 days time. The cakes in the video today have proven to be so popular that it's the ones we go out with on our local outside events throughout the summer and the public are delighted. We have many regular faces pop up at quite a few of our events but it's the Open Day that gets the greatest feedback and I'm certain that there are a few of you out there that come back year after year mainly to sample some of our goodies. Of course, there are about 3 times the amount of cakes at our Open Days to cope with demand and as you can see in the video, we have some of the best value for money cakes around. Expect these tried and tested winners and of course there will be millionaire's shortbread and cookies, plus a number of large cakes, with portions to satisfy the largest of appetites but we serve them in takeaway boxes so you can enjoy them at home. I can definitely recommend a warm cornflake tart with custard.😋That's surely got your mouth watering. See you on Sunday 3rd August. Remember, the earlier you get there the more cakes there'll be left.😁

With 13 days to our Open Day, we're going to show you some of the things that hopefully will persuade you to come and pay us a visit. Firstly, it's our Roll the Ball game. If you get one of the top 3 scores on our Open Day the prizes are a 70cl bottle of vodka, a giant cuddly Mickey Mouse and a prize TBC. It's a ranking tournament as well, so get a score in the top 20 and your name will appear in lights (more details to follow). If you've never seen it in action before, here's Rebecca to show you what it's all about. Now you've seen it in action, surely the vodka has whetted your appetite. We'll be back tomorrow with another reason to visit.😊

We were asked if we could go round to one of our local care homes this afternoon and of course without hesitation we did and we're glad we did. We turned up at Edward House in Eastwood with Bella, our African Grey and Millie, our Senegal. We also took Rosy, our Yorkshire Terrier and Ruby, a French Bulldog. Of course, everyone wanted to stroke our 2 dogs but it was the birds that provided the funniest moments. One of the staff (photo 1) was alright when Millie was on her hand but got a bit nervous when she climbed up her arm and went out of sight on her back. Out of all the residents, Maureen was absolutely loving both birds. Firstly, (photo 2) Bella spent a minute or 2 on Maureen's hand but then it was Millie's turn. Maureen broke a little bit of Digestive Biscuit off for Millie and they both loved that (photo 3). Then Millie took matters into her own claws, as she bounced down on to the table and came back up with the rest of her biscuit and showed Maureen that she was going to eat it (photo 4). It was lovely to bring a smile to so many faces today.😊

We have 2 African Greys looking for forever families. They've both had lady owners so it would be preferable for their main guardians to be female. Look up the Adoption Guide on our website which is www.guardianangelsbirdsanctuary.org and you'll see terms and conditions on that page. If you agree to these please ring Rebecca on 01773 770891 or 07772138961. Please don't reply on here as we prefer to speak directly to you and we'll discuss your next steps.

We'll have a tombola with some great prizes, "Roll the Ball" with some brilliant prizes and our new and improved "Hook-a-Duck" with....you guessed it some fantastic prizes and that's a prize every time. Don't forget our selection of homemade cakes that are affordable and delicious. It doesn't cost the Earth when you come and visit our stall. Tombola-5 tickets for £1, "Roll the Ball"-10 balls for £1, "Hook-a-Duck"-just £1.50 per go and cakes ranging from £2 for cherry bakewells, cornflake tarts, 3 different brownies and a rocky road and just £2.50 for cherry scones with jam and cream. Also here's your first look at our poster for our Open Day on Sunday 3rd August. More details to follow.

It has surprised us all that there has been no interest in Mac at all since we put him up for adoption a couple of days ago. So, we thought we'd give you more details about him. Mac's plucking is not due to any medical condition, it is grief from when he lost his mate, a female Eclectus, 18 months ago. He is extremely tame and I've never known a parrot who loves his food as much as he does. He can talk and says a number of different things. He likes men and women. However, we were planning on him staying with us forever but he decided he wants to make this strange noise every now and then. That, we can cope with but it makes our grand children cry which is why we stated not to apply if you have young children. Also, we adopted 2 dogs from the meat trade in Korea and we also foster for them as well. This noise is scary for those dogs but it doesn't effect our other dogs. His previous owner said he didn't make that noise with her so it could be that this house is too busy for him. There must be someone who'd like to adopt this cracking bird.
Please check our terms and conditions for becoming a Guardian to one of our birds on www.guardianangelsbirdsanctuary.org on the page titled Adoption Guide. If you're happy with those please ring Rebecca on 01773 770891 or 07772138961. Messages on this page won't be replied to.

With much sadness, we have to find Mac a new family. We have our reasons for this which we'll discuss with anyone who's interested. Please don't apply if you are out at work all day with no one home or if you have young children or dogs.

If you're near Bramcote later today, we'll be there for Hemlock Happening, the fund raiser to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day. There's certainly loads "happening"😁as you can see from the poster. We've got our usual tombola, "Hook-a-Duck", "Roll the Ball" and a selection of home baked cakes, including Cherry Bakewells, Cornflake Tarts, 4 lots of Brownies, Rocky Roads and delicious Cherry Scones with strawberry jam and cream.😋

29/05/2025

It was a big weekend for "Roll the Ball" enthusiasts because both days were ranking events and some players turned up to both.
At Brinsley Animal Rescue, the World number 1, John Humphreys was absent, so number 2 Courtney Henshaw took full advantage with a score of 68 and won her 3rd ranking event to climb once again to number 1 for the 3rd time. She and John have now won 3 events each, nobody else has won more than 1. Lottie Smith finished 2nd with a fine score of 65 and enters the rankings at 49.
Then at the Greasley Gathering, John tried to get back to number 1 and had the best score of the day, which would have been enough but sadly his 63 was only good enough for 4th place and 10 points now separate Courtney and John. Performance of the weekend though goes to Robbie Manners who won with a brilliant 71, the highest score of the year. 3 scores in the top 20 catapulted Robbie to number 14 in the rankings. Lola Bolton finished 2nd and 6th with scores of 69 and 60 and she goes in at number 18. Khali Hamida got 3rd place with a score that would have won the competition the day before (68).
