We are spending many evenings and weekends transporting birds between rescues at present, and our carriers have taken something of a battering.
Might you have a spare carrier languishing in the shed/garage/loft that is no-longer needed? We could certainly put it to use, and any surplus could be passed onto the very grateful wildlife rescues that we work with.
I've put up a photo of the carriers we usually use - but anything you can spare would be greatly appreciated, as would any of the Snugglesafe microwave heat pads so crucial when transporting the tiny fledglings or birds in deep shock.
