Well, Avansa and I haven't really been around for a while and I'm here to explain why, and share some cute pictures! She has to do a work placement for her college course, and she found a place called Folly Wildlife Rescue. I thought it sounded like fun, so we're both doing it, and it's really great! We're usually on the aviaries, where there are baby blackbirds and thrushes who need to be hand fed every hour, 24 ducklings, 3 goslings (although more have been admitted but they're inside under watch,) lots of pigeons, once of which likes to sit on my shoulder (as do two baby collared doves in with the blackbirds and thrushes,) starlings and a greenfinch.
But we've worked inside as well, looking after hedgehogs, pigeons, collared doves, housemartins and baby badgers.
Anyway I thought I'd start up this thread and share some pictures every now and then, once James sorts out an upgrade for the forum
To start off with, I created an album on photobucket for the pictures I wanted to share XD there's a picture of Avansa feeding the baby birds (she doesn't like birds, and I usually deal with handling them, so we were both proud of her because although they're tiny, they fly right in your face all the time!,) a couple of the baby collared doves in the same aviary, a hedgehog who was rather active while we were working and the cheekiest squirrel in the world, who kept pulling things through his cage bars! He was an orphan and can be released soon
The pictures were taken on our phones and it's hard to get a good shot with a wild animal! so sorry about the poor quality.
