May I wish you all the very best for a happy and healthy New Year, and to thank each and every one of you for your past and present support to Three Owls.
Gifts are always welcome in any form, and we are truly grateful for all that we have received to date - enabling us to continue our much-needed work with the wild birds.
Some comes in the form of money donations by cash/cheque/online through the website. Others are gifts of equipment or foods as requested via these news updates. Equally some gifts come in the form of unwanted gifts/presents, and quality 2nd hand items which we can use for fundraising.
We are also very grateful for those supporters who leave us a bequest in their Will, as these larger sums enable us to undertake greater scale works to benefit an increased number of wild birds. We have been humbled to receive such a legacy from a long-time subscriber just before Christmas, and we will ensure that it is used to provide a lasting benefit to save lives, provide medical care to wild birds in distress, and protect the wild birds we are frequently called on to assist with.
My very best wishes to you all, and THANK YOU once again.

Often there are ways to help – that don’t actually ‘cost’ anything at all, but can make a huge difference to making birds welcome and safe in the environment around us.
