I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone for their kind messages and offers of help over the last week. I won't lie to you all, it's been a really rough week but hopefully we're heading in the right direction!

I need to give a special shout out to Lincoln's Performance & Recovery Clinic for offering me some free treatments to help with my recovery, so that I can get back to running things properly as soon as possible. This morning I spent an hour in the hyperbaric chamber, which I was a bit apprehensive about but it was really relaxing and, if im honest, probably one of the first times in a long time my brain has actually shut off from work properly (apart from sunday but the less said about that the better 😂)

The team at the clinic are absolutely lovely and have recently set up a CIC to help try and give as many treatments free or low cost as possible to people in need. If you're able to support them by following their page or sending them a pound or two I'd be very grateful! I'm already feeling the benefit of it 🙌

Wild Things Rescue will be closed to new admissions until further notice. This isnt a decision I've made lightly.

This weekend I had a bit of a health scare and have been told in no uncertain terms I need to actually rest.

While we do have a lovely team of volunteers who help us out, the vast majority of the 'running' of the charity is done by me. This includes the ordering of food and supplies, making the decisions on where animals go and their care plans, organising people and all the extra bits that go with running a charity. Its not just a case of being able to hand that all over to someone else so I can have a few days off.

I need to focus on the many, many animals we already have in our care and make sure theyre alright and getting everything they need (while also attempting to give my body and brain a bit of a rest). I couldn't tell you the last day I had that I would actually consider a day off, it will have been years ago. Ive always got an animal at home I'm caring for (more often than not multiple - ive currently got rabbits of various ages, hares, jackdaws, crows, pigeons and a blackbird) and on the rare occasion I haven't got an animal, I'm always contacted for advice or needed to answer questions, not even necessarily from people within the charity, but other rescues, rehabbers, vets and people who have my personal contact details.

If I don't stop now for a bit, there will be no Wild Things anymore and I wish I was being dramatic and exaggerating there, but I'm not.

So I really apologise for any inconvenience, but this is the reality of it all. Hopefully we'll be back to it before too long.

All the best
Lucy

Welcome, Little One! 🦉

​This tiny little owl nestling was found by a kind finder named Becky, sitting all on his own right next to a busy road. He is still very young, and it is highly possible he fell from his nest and wandered just a little too far from safety.

Given where he was found, we are so glad Becky spotted him and stepped in to help!

​Right now, he is currently being hand-fed by our team. He is a bit quiet and stressed out by his new surroundings—and as you can see from his photo, he looks a little grumpy and is feeling a bit sorry for himself! However, he has already braved an explore around his enclosure, and he is in good spirits. We are cautiously hopeful for his recovery.

​Did You Know?
​Unlike their larger owl cousins who hunt mice and other small mammals, little owls have a very specific diet—they mainly eat insects like beetles, earwigs, and earthworms!

​⚠️ Wildlife Tip: Nestling owls can sometimes wander, but if you find one right next to a hazard like a road, or if you are ever unsure what to do, please contact your nearest wildlife rescue for advice before intervening.
​We are giving this little guy plenty of peace and quiet to settle in, and we’ll keep you updated on his progress!

Meet Our Newest Little Fighter! 🕊️

​This tiny feral pigeon nestling was found by a kind finder named Chris, hidden away inside a hole in some bricks. At first, Chris thought the little one had already passed away—but upon picking him up, they realized he was alive, well, and just very hungry after being abandoned by his parents!

​Right now, he is still a bit too young to eat on his own, so our team is currently tube-feeding him to make sure he gets all the vital nutrients he needs. Despite his rough start, he is incredibly active, alert, and in great spirits. The outlook for this little guy is very hopeful!

We are so incredibly grateful to Chris for checking on him and bringing him to us just in time.

​⚠️ Wildlife Tip: If you ever find a baby bird and aren't sure if it needs help, always contact your nearest wildlife rescue for advice before intervening.
​We will keep you all updated on his progress as he grows big and strong!

Sorry but we are closed to further admissions today. I've managed to get myself a lovely case of cellulitis so everything is taking me much longer than normal. We've had over 10 animals come in this morning and I need to be able to focus on them and the animals we already have in. We should re-open tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience

🦉 New Patient Update: Tawny Owl Nestlings! 🦉

​These two fluffy cuties have been in our care for just over a week now, and we are thrilled with their progress! They are incredibly active, alert, and the overall outlook for them is very hopeful.
​The best news? They are really picking up how to feed themselves! 💚

​🌲 Did You Know?
​Tawny owl nestlings at this age are often found on the forest floor. They use their sharp talons and beaks to literally climb back up into the trees and return to their nests.

​We'll keep you updated on these two as they continue to grow and get ready for their eventual release back into the wild.

Freedom finally for some of our ducklings 🐥 💚

These ducklings started out with us in two groups at the centre. Once they'd got a bit older and a bit more sturdy, they moved onto on of our lovely fosterers Lou who kept them warm and well fed until they were ready to venture out on their own.

Shes continued to keep an eye on them after their release and they're doing really well, sticking around for the free food no doubt!!

FOUND A LONE BABY DEER? PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE! 🦌🛑

​It’s peak baby season, and we often get calls about lone fawns hidden in the grass. While it looks heartbreaking, this is completely normal survival behavior!

​Here is why mum leaves them:
​They can't keep up: A newborn fawn is too weak to follow its mother while she feeds, so she hides it in a safe spot.

​They are scentless: Baby deer have virtually no body scent. As long as they lie perfectly still, predators can't find them. Mum stays away so she doesn't draw attention to the hiding spot.

​Mum WILL return: She is always nearby and will return to check on her baby and feed. Sometimes she'll return every few hours and sometimes it's a bit longer, depending on the threats around (so if you stay nearby watching, shes less likely to come back as often).

​⚠️ When does a fawn actually need help?
​Only call a rescue if the deer is:
-​Visibly injured or covered in flies.
-​Crying out/bleating continuously.
-​Lying flat on its side rather than curled up.

​If the fawn is calm, healthy, and curled up, please keep your distance and keep dogs on leads. Moving a healthy baby away from its mother significantly lowers its chances of survival.

​If you're ever unsure, please call us for advice before touching it! 💚
