This young Tawny Owl was hit by a car and broke its right leg, we plastered it for 6 weeks. In the meantime he was put with 2 baby barn owls to keep him warm and to keep his wildness, so he would still think he is an owl and not imprinted (humanized). 8 weeks later we slowly introduced him to the wild, he now lives wild as he should be. |

Two Sparrow Hawks within a week of each other, one had a broken right wing and the other couldn't fly for awhile. Both had antibiotics and were released when they were fit enough. |

This baby Black bird was only about 8 days old when he came to Many Hoots. We reared it on dog food, mash potatoes, worms, and other bits of our left over Sunday dinners. When rearing a black bird or thrush remember that you are the mother ands the father of the bird. If it is very young and still in a nest that you have given it , it will stay there until it tries to get out by itself let it do that and call it for food. Use a one word call, like Hay or even were are you, each time it comes reward it with a small bit of food, then walk a couple of steps away and call again, it should follow you for food. Only small bits remember, then every now and again offer a drop of water he will open his mouth and accept the water (one drop at a time as to not drown the bird) when he wants no more he will not open the mouth and make a small cheeping noise, remember that noise it means no more. If you training it outside don't be afraid to leave it near its nest, this is a safe place, he will then stand on top of it when he doesn’t want to play anymore. At night when you feed it, keep piling the food in until he looks like he has a balloon in his chest, this is normal, this is how I do it with all of those type of birds and it works for me, if it works don't change it. NOW FREE IN THE WILD. |

Feeding time for this young Blue tit (meal worms). He was 1 of 2 that came to us in 1996. Don't forget we are mom, he follows mom for food where ever she goes. When he is ready to leave he will not come for food, he will tell us he is leaving, off to fending for himself. |
