Thank you to you all for persevering whilst the Helpline had limited service. Certainly we fairly packed in the WhatsApp and messages in the interim and returned any missed calls as soon as we had the facility to do so. It has been good to see the service coming back upto speed.
The website has been handling huge numbers of inquirers; many of whom have been sent from other organisations and charities around the world - it is rewarding to know that our work is universally appreciated.
Many thanks also to those enquirers who give us an update as to how 'their' bird has fared after following the advice they have received. We do have decades of experience to base our knowledge on, but that doesn't mean we are not accepting of new ideas, so please do offer suggestions if you have found an alternative idea that has worked for you, in regard to wild bird care.
