FAQ: I have found a trapped bird. What shall I do?

It is very important that you contact a local wildlife rescue or rehabber straight away and that you stay at the scene until they arrive. Please do not attempt to free the trapped bird yourself as many birds tangled or trapped in netting can be dehydrated, suffering from ligature wounds or are very stressed needing specialist treatment before they can be released. However, if the bird is trapped beyond reach, it is best to inform the SSPCA or RSPCA, as the Fire and Rescue Services will only attend when called out by the SSPCA or RSPCA...

FAQ: Can birds get infected by contact with viruses or bacteria transmitted by humans?

FAQ: Why do birds sunbathe?

Bird sunning behaviour can be captivating to watch, but why exactly do birds sun themselves? Bird sunning is the act of spreading out in full sunshine to expose plumage and skin to direct sunlight. Different individuals and species will sunbathe in slightly different and specific ways. They are usually seen standing with the back to the sun whilst fluffing feathers on head and back to expose skin. Birds are also commonly stretching, spreading or drooping wings and tail whilst sunning. Sometimes they are also seen to raise wings to expose their underparts or flanks. Because the point of sunning is to capture the most sunlight, birds will frequently sun in open and unobstructed areas...
