How you can help the birds….

---

Here at Baby Beaks I rescue and rehabilitate garden birds such as sparrows, blue tits, goldfinches, robins, wrens, blackbirds, great tits, chaffinches, bullfinches ..... and pigeons!  Unfortunately I cannot take in larger species such as swans or raptors but can advise on what to do.
Whether you’ve found a nestling, fledgling or adult bird that needs help my sole aim is to give these birds a second chance and ultimately release them back into their own environment, back to the wild.

Firstly, does it really need rescued?  When fledglings leave the nest they are not experts at flying and will often be found on the ground or in bushes waiting on their parents to come and feed them. This is normal. In most cases the bird is ok and the best thing to do is leave them alone, keep pets indoors and watch from a distance. However if the bird seems fluffed up with its eyes closed, or looks very quiet and subdued then it may not be coping so will need rescued. Also if the bird is bald or has very few feathers it is a nestling and won’t survive on its own.. Please call me!
