OUR 

FACILITIES

Treatment X Ray Room 2022 (3).jpg

TREATMENT 

ROOM

Patients are assessed, weighed and x-rayed for injuries. Our veterinary team will perform minor surgeries or medical procedures to stabilise our very poorly patients before they move into our hospital ward for ongoing care.

WARD

Each day the patient kennels are cleaned, have fresh bedding, food and water. Patients are weighed and observations taken to monitor their progress.

CARE

The heated incubators are specially designed for birds and small baby mammals to keep them warm and comfortable during the most critical phase of their care.

BIRD OF PREY 

ENCLOSURES

These birds are naturally shy and easily stressed. Our units provide quiet boxes for resting and minimal disturbance, perching platforms and swings to aid landing, balance and flight practice.

HEDGEHOG 

PRE-RELEASE SHED

During winter, hedgehogs that are well enough to leave the heated patient ward are acclimatised to outdoor temperatures. In mild weather they can then be released into suitable habitats.

WATER BIRD 

POOLS

Water birds recuperate outside with space to rest, exercise and water-proof their feathers in preparation for release. Communal birds recuperate together to better support their natural behavior.

LARGE 

MAMMAL PENS

The enclosures give larger wild animals space to hide and to feel secure while they recover, rest, develop natural behaviours and recuperate without undue stress and with the minimal human contact.

BIRD

AVIARIES

Young birds can grow and injured birds recuperate in aviaries to gain weight, grow new flight feathers and build muscle strength. Predator and prey species are housed in separate areas.

RECOVERY 

SHED

Recuperating large birds and mammals need a clean holding pen to minimise human intrusion. The recovery shed offers a comfortable environment for them to gain condition or for wounds to heal. Once well enough they move to an outside enclosure.
