A polite but important message to everyone seeking help for injured or orphaned birds in Leeds.

Please understand that there is very little support available for wild birds in Leeds. There are no official local bird charities providing a dedicated rescue, collection, transport, and rehabilitation service, so much of the work falls to a small number of independent wildlife rehabilitators and volunteers.

We ask that people remain patient, polite, and respectful when contacting us. If we do not reply immediately, it is not because we do not care. The reality is that we are often feeding orphaned babies, treating critically injured birds, administering medication, cleaning enclosures, responding to emergencies, and caring for dozens of birds and other wildlife at the same time.

Unfortunately, we also spend a significant amount of time dealing with rude, demanding, and sometimes hostile comments. Every minute spent responding to negativity is time taken away from animals that genuinely need help.

It is also important to understand that there is no dedicated transport service. Most wildlife rehabilitators do not have drivers available and cannot collect every bird reported to them. We rely heavily on members of the public and the small number of volunteer drivers who kindly give their time to help transport birds to safety.

There is also very little funding available. Every wildlife rehabilitator caring for birds in our area pays for food, medication, equipment, housing, transport, and ongoing care from their own pocket. We do not receive funding to cover the day-to-day costs of rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife. We do this because we care deeply about these animals and want to give every bird the best possible chance of survival.

Before criticising a delayed response, please remember that every bird in our care is being looked after by people giving their own time, energy, money, and resources. We are not paid staff sitting behind a desk waiting for messages. We are hands-on with injured and orphaned wildlife every day, often caring for multiple emergency cases at once.

If you would like to help, please consider volunteering, assisting with transport, donating supplies, or making a financial contribution. Even small acts of support make a huge difference.

Above all, please remember that the people helping these birds are doing so voluntarily, often while juggling work, family commitments, and the care of many animals. A little patience, kindness, understanding, and respect go a long way and are not too much to ask from those seeking help.

Thank you to everyone who supports, understands, and helps us continue this vital work.

Hey guys its come to my attention for many years, this spot has been home to a small community of pigeons, with around 20 birds regularly roosting there overnight. Just a couple of weeks ago there were also young birds being raised in the area.

Today, the pigeons appear to have disappeared, and two dead birds were seen nearby. While netting is often installed to deter birds, it can sometimes result in birds becoming trapped, injured, or unable to reach nesting sites.

If you are passing this area, please keep an eye on the netting and report any birds that appear to be caught or in distress. A quick check from local residents and visitors could make a real difference to the welfare of any birds affected.

Thank you to everyone who helps look out for our Poogens.

The area at the back of the Park Plaza Hotel, next to Mill Hill Chapel, has recently been covered with bird netting.

Well 😅 my boyfriend is having his knee surgery soon! Being chronically ill and boyfriend will be out of commission im going to have to concentrate on all the birds I have! So far have 8 to tend too and full as had a few dropped off out the blue!

I will still organise messages and only unfortunately prioritise the tiny babies.

By this time hoping my avairy ground work is finished as thanks to you lovely people I have raised enough and modifications for making it disabled friendly!

I will still answer messages and try to help!

Thank you!
