Our baby bird nursery incubator

Bedfordshire Wildlife Rescue has been running since early 2004. During the last few years, the charity has become well known, particularly for a knowledge of bird care and rears around 250 baby birds alone each season.  In total, we treat between 800 and 1000 sick and injured birds and mammals each Year, all from our small treatment room.

During the Summer, we are enormously busy with baby birds and will rear anything from young Owls right down to the tiniest young Wren.  Some of our baby birds will need feeding from 7am, every 20 minutes, until 9 or 10pm.

We are also extremely busy during this time rearing young mammals such as foxes, hedgehogs, rabbits and even weasels.

As you can imagine, it is an exhausting but hugely rewarding job, all done by just a few dedicated volunteers.

To do all of this, we rely entirely on the good will of the public to keep us running.  We run charity stalls at local carnivals, etc and started our ebay shop a couple of years ago to raise more funds for our work. 

As we have no paid staff, we are proud of the fact that every penny raised goes directly towards the care of our patients.

To everyone who has supported us by buying items from our ebay shop.  Thank you so very much.  Without your help we wouldn't be able to help wildlife.
