Look at these two beautiful Dunnock fledglings brough home seemingly unharmed by a cat, they looked perfectly healthy but there is a hidden injury and luckily for them the owner of the cat took swift action to help them..... 👍

A ruptured airsac, without antibiotics they would have died. Cats saliva is also exceptionally toxic to young birds so when they preen within hours they rapidly go downhill, I know as I've observed this for years. So if put back outside their once doting parents more often than not choose not to feed the injured fledglings which makes them perfect vocal targets for predators.

I can't stress this enough but just releasing wildlife caught by cats because they seem OK will almost certainly result in their death within 24-48hours 😔

Please, please reach out for advice, a link that is really helpful is helpwildlife.co.uk

Good afternoon all,

Spring is officially here, I wanted to share a quick glimpse of how my last few days have been spent watching these beautiful blackbirds grow, they should shortly choose to end their nestling phase and move out to explore their surroundings, feeding is still every 30 minutes at this age. I do love that beautiful sound they make, I hope you do too, once out of the nest they will soon start their fledgling stage of rehabilitation and be introduced to live feed after a few days alongside support feeding 😍

Thanks for reading, Unity team

Meet Kevin,

This stunning Goshawk was found injured in woodland in an undisclosed location.
The right wing had sustained a minor fracture, which has since healed sufficiently enough so the hawk can sustain flight. However, these birds are incredible hunters that rely on an extreme level of agility and manoeuvrability on the wing in order to catch their prey. Any injury to the wing on these creatures will almost certainly be a significant handicap when it comes to hunting success, and so he has come to stay with us at Unity Wildlife, where our resident falconer will provide him a forever home with the opportunity to fly - so that he may still live the life intended for a Goshawk, but without the fear of starvation if he not successful in hunting his own meals.

Can anyone guess what this is ?

Pictures are of a teeny tiny hatchling in my husbands hand, in the second you can see my smaller hand for comparison.

UPDATE: It's a little Wren, one of the UK's smallest birds :-)

Hello,

Just sharing a couple of the cases I have had in recently, firstly a beautiful Great spotted fledgling Woodpecker caught by a cat. This bird went on to make a full recovery and was released last weekend.
5 ducklings which came in 3 bundles, two were released several weeks ago as older, the 3 remaining joined them last weekend. A video will follow of their release.
And finally a little baby bunny who is still with me was scooped up by a kind finder, feeding for this little one is every couple of hours right now which will increase over time

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Hello,

Sorry for the lack of posts, we are all very busy at present, I wanted to share this educational picture of a recent success story for one fledgling Bluetit who is now in my aviary getting ready for release alongside another Bluetit and Great tit.

This little one was caught by a cat and whilst most owners simple take the bird caught off their cat assuming all is well then release straight back outside, this is not the right thing to do. This particular fledgling had a ruptured air sack which increases in size over a few hours. What's more is cats saliva is toxic to birds! So when the fledgling preens it will eventually die from blood poisoning.

Please do reach out to a rehabber if your ever in this position, every life counts!

Good morning, **warning cuteness overload**

I wanted to share some recent admissions, I took on two litters of wild rabbits, against all odds all are thriving although they are not in the clear yet, I have in total 11, all come in with their eyes closed, all now have their eyes open, are alert and hopping around.

With no donations any organisations like ours cannot continue helping wildlife, I must ask for our followers support. If you have anything spare to donate please dig deep, these guys will need a large outdoor enclosure I am yet to aquire, our UK wildlife needs your help so if you have an old rabbit or dog playpen thats no longer used, food, hay, sawdust, live feed for the birds, puppy pads, kitchen roll, we would really appreciate your support 😊

Thanks for reading,

Emily

***WARNING - graphic images***

Hi all, just wanted to share a recent success case with you.

This juvenile was taken in after what appeared to be a magpie attack, 10 deep peck wounds were found around the body alongside a few more smaller wounds to the face and beak, and a swollen cere.

This is the before and after. The day they arrived and the day they left (plus another Juvenile that was in my care that they've stuck with)

Have a good day everyone

Hello all,

Wanted to share a picture of our first duckling of the year 2024, thankyou to the finders who brought this little one to me, despite their best efforts and hours of searching, mum could not be found.

Enjoy everyone, Emily
