🎆🐾 FIREWORKS SEASON IS COMING… IS YOUR PET READY? 🐾🎆

While some people look forward to the celebrations, fireworks can be frightening for our furry family members. 💔 Loud bangs and flashing lights can trigger anxiety, panic, and a desperate urge to hide or escape.

🐶🐱 A little preparation can make a BIG difference!

✔️ Create a safe, cosy hiding place indoors.
✔️ Play soothing sounds or keep the TV on to help mask the noise.
✔️ Stay calm and offer comfort and reassurance.
✔️ Speak to us about suitable calming aids if your pet needs extra support.

❤️ Don't wait for the first bang to start preparing! Planning ahead can help keep your pets calmer, safer, and more comfortable.

🐣 IT'S FLEDGLING SEASON! PLEASE LET THEM BE! 🐦🌿

This time of year, feathered little babies are hatching, growing and taking their first steps into the big, wide world!

But here's something important you should know.

Baby birds don't leave their nests as expert flyers! 🐥

Many spend several days on the ground, learning to fly, find food and survive.

And guess what? They are NOT abandoned!

Mom and Dad are usually nearby, perched in a tree, keeping a watchful eye and returning regularly to feed their little ones.

❤️ Why are we telling you this?

Because well-meaning people sometimes "rescue" baby birds who don't actually need rescuing!

If you find a feathered fledgling on the ground:

🐦 Please leave it alone if it is safe and appears healthy.

🐦 Keep children, dogs and cats away.

🐦 If it is in immediate danger, move it to a nearby safe, sheltered spot where its parents can still find it.

🐦 If it is injured, weak or genuinely orphaned, contact a wildlife rehabilitation centre or knowledgeable animal welfare organisation for guidance. Keep it safely contained, quiet and warm while arranging help.

🐦 Never attempt to feed it or give it water unless instructed by an experienced wildlife rehabilitator. You could unintentionally cause serious harm.

Remember, a tiny, unfeathered nestling on the ground is different and usually needs assistance.

🌿 The very best parents for a baby bird are its OWN parents!

How can you help? By sharing this message! A little knowledge can prevent unnecessary rescues and keep wild babies where they belong.

❤️ Sometimes the kindest rescue is knowing when NOT to rescue.
