Guardian Angels Bird Sanctuary

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.

Thank you for all the enquiries but the terrapin has now been rehomed.

23/11/2025

We desperately need a home for a terrapin. It comes with a large tank and filter system. It's free to a good home, so if you're interested please ring Rebecca on 01773 770891 or 07772138961.

Just one sleep until the Eastwood Christmas Lights Switch on and we'll be outside Lawrence Veterinary Centre, who have kindly allowed us to take over the pavement outside their Cat Clinic for the 12th consecutive year (barring Covid). We've got so much going on again this year. Brilliant prizes galore on our tombola, "Hook-a-Duck" and in our Santa's Grotto. So kids, drag your parents over and they might get a chance to sit on Santa's knee.☺️Well why should children have all the fun.😁There'll be a full to bursting stall full of delicious homemade cakes and gingerbread too and we'll have a steaming hot saucepan full of mushy peas to warm you up on a cold, late Autumn evening. The photos are just 2 of the 4 prizes on offer on one of our biggest "Roll the Ball" events. There is also a large "Me to You" bear and a "Spa Luxetique" gift set. It's the final ranking event of the year, so the race is on for the number one spot at Christmas. We'll be there from 1pm until 7.30pm and we can't wait to see you.

After a brilliant Beeston Lights, our Christmas fund raisers continue this Saturday when we will be outside Lawrence Veterinary Centre from around 1pm until 7pm. We'll have our usual tombola and "Hook-a-Duck" with loads of prizes that are Christmas related and plenty of potential presents for the whole family. We'll have a gazebo full of fresh, homemade cakes and we'll also have loads of mushy peas on sale to keep you warm in the cold night air. Also, "Roll the Ball" will have prizes including Rebecca's legendry gingerbread house, a bottle of champagne and also a big gift set of bathroom goodies (photos to follow). Remember Roll the Ballers, it's also our last ranking event of the year...who will be the Christmas number 1 (more on that tomorrow). From around 4ish, we'll be opening our Santa's Grotto. So, bring your kids along to see Santa and receive a present and adults as well (why not?).😊 It promises to be a brilliant day. See you on Saturday.

Thank you to everyone that turned up yesterday for our Autumn Fayre at Greasley Sports Hall and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Congratulations to our raffle winners Stuart Goring (982 pink ticket), then Maggie Haskey (674) and Kevin Rostance (698 and 712 all orange tickets).
Now on to the "Roll the Ball" tournament which was won by the most surprised and formally self deprecating player ever, Coral Boswell. In her own words "I thought someone was rolling the balls for me" as she scored a brilliant 69 and then added a 67 to get 3rd place as well. She might think a bit different about her game now because since Easter when she'd dropped of the rankings altogether, she has soared up to 6th in the world. Another upwardly mobile player yesterday was Maisie Durham who rose from 45 to number 13, thanks to scores of 58, 61 and a superb 68 to finish 19th, 10th and 2nd respectively. World number 1 Courtney Henshaw failed to get in the top 20 yesterday and her lead at the top has been cut to 33 points with her mum Cheryl, now just 7 points behind John Humphreys who hangs on to 2nd place.

First of all, that is OUR postcode and is wrong on the poster because it is taking place at Greasley Sports Hall and the postcode is actually NG16 3QN. Sorry for the confusion.
It's "Roll the Ball" ranking tournament time this coming Sunday at the Autumn Fayre at the Greasley Sports Hall. Because it's more than 2 years since the Brinsley Animal Rescue Summer Open Day and our Autumn Fayre both in 2023, any ranking points picked up on those days, will now unfortunately be removed. So players losing points will be:-
Geoff Pearson 31; Courtney Henshaw 30; Lloyd Henshaw 30;
Tella Durham 30; John Taylor 30; Wayne Durham 22;
Julie Stenson 21; Nicola Barsby 21; Ann Jenkins 18; Ann Green 18;
Maisie Durham 17; Amelia Thorpe 16; Imogen Webster 16;
John Humphreys 15; Orla Bartlett 15; Beth Scott 13;
Amy Wathall 12; Hazel Charlesworth 11; Ollie Stocker 11;
Cheryl Henshaw 10; Alex Locke 10; Joshua Pykett 9;
Sandra Barker 8; Julie Watson 7; Maddie Taylor 7; Kathy Teece 5; Mel Willis 4; Ellie Miller 4; Paul Dalton 3; Richard Martin 2;
Laila Clarke 1; Ruth Smith 1;
This could be highly significant as 10 of the top 20 are losing points, including 5 of the top 6 and all the top 3. So it's wide open in the race to be the Christmas number 1 this year. See you all on Sunday.

We're back at Greasley Sports & Community Centre for our Autumn Fayre on October 26th. We still have a few spaces left and tables are £10 each. Drop us a message if you're interested. All proceeds made by Guardian Angels Bird Sanctuary will go towards the upkeep of our resident birds and any other birds in need that arrive in the near future. We will have a number of fund raising ideas for the day including a raffle and a tombola. We have 3 games to play to win a variety of prizes. These are "Play Your Cards Right" and the incredibly popular "Hook-a-Duck". The other one is "Roll the Ball" which will be a ranking event. Get one of the top 20 scores of the day to gain ranking points and appear on the ranking list on our page. We will also be selling food including bacon cobs along with tea, coffee and cold cans of pop. There will also be a big array of delicious home baked cakes and biscuits. There will be 25 different stalls run by local people selling their wares. There's bound to be a few Christmas present opportunities available to buy or win. It's totally free to enter and it promises to be a fun day for all the family. We'll see you there.

LOST! African Grey 3 weeks ago called Polo. Last seen on Eskdale Drive off Aspley Lane. He's got a microchip in his leg with all his details. If you say Polo good boy and Polo mummy baby, he likes it and coos. He's very friendly if you approach him in a calm manner. He loves people, although he's cautious for a minute until you speak nicely, then he'll come to you. He loves men to stroke him on his neck. Loves mostly sweet potato but eats apple and pear. There's a hefty reward if found. The number to contact if you have any information is Sam on 07977299074 or Gaz on 07967205939. Here are a few photos. Please help us find this beautiful bird. It's owners have had him from a baby for 9 years and are devastated. Thank you.
