WHO TO CALL?
We are available 24/7
Birds of prey require specialized treatment and handling, their best possible chance of survival is to get them to your closest Vet or wildlife rehabilitation centre as soon as possible. Please do not try and look after these animals yourselves as either the animals or you may be injured if handled incorrectly.
Please leave us a WhatsApp message if we are unable to answer your call immediately, we will get back to you as soon as possible. In the interim please send us your name, a pin location of the animal in need of assistance and a photograph of the animal where ever possible.
