Wing and a Prayer Rescue SCIO

16/06/2026

Thanks to your incredible generosity, Big Blind Janine underwent surgery yesterday to remove her eye.

We’re pleased to let you all know the operation went well and she’s now back with us and recovering in her post-op coop. Meals on wheels with all the the goodies, and hanging with her wee pal Peaches for company. The pair have been inseparable since they met a few weeks back, and so we felt it only right she join her in the recovery wing!

We’d also like to give a very special thank you to our amazing veterinary team. Not only have they taken such wonderful care of our big girl, but they’ve done a top job sharing photos from her surgery!

Thank you to every single person who donated, shared her story or sent kind messages. Your support made this possible, and because of you Big Blind will now a much happier & more comfortable retirement 🙏🏼

Tomorrow is big surgery day for Janine (affectionately known as Big Blind), wish her luck! 🙏🏼

Her story:

This lovely lady recently came into our care and is completely blind in one eye. After a visit to our vet to give her the once over we now suspect there’s a tumour in there. Sadly the swelling is now causing concern that she may be experiencing pain/discomfort, and our vets have advised that the best course of action for her is surgery to remove the eye completely.

Despite being blind in one eye, and partially sighted in the other, Big Blind Janine is the sweetest big girl and we’re looking for support to fund her surgery and aftercare.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small the amount, it would be massively appreciated and help make such a difference to lovely Janine’s quality of life ♥️

This is Janine, another recent rescue with an eye issue. She has seen our fabulous avian vet Richard and has some eyedrops. He thinks this may be an injury, not a tumour like our other girl.
She can’t see much we don’t think, and that is unlikely to change, but she doesn’t seem to be in pain and is happily free-ranging with her new flock ❤️

WOW! What a month so far!

Here is a selection of pictures shared by our volunteers all around the country: they have driven miles, given up their Easter holidays and generally stepped up and been amazing to help these birds ❤️
I say birds because we’ve rescued 800 hens, 15 cockerels, 4 ducks and even been involved in the rescue of an Emu and a Llama (I know, not a bird)this month!

Animal rescue can be crazy and unpredictable at times and we find it so hard to say no when we are asked for help. Fortunately we are 100% volunteer-powered by truly brilliant humans with huge hearts.

We are so grateful to you all ❤️
