After discovering this poor thrush had been brought in by their cat, the owners quickly rang us for advice. Arriving, later, at the centre for an examination by the vet team, this garden bird had sustained a wound to its right side. Luckily, the wound was superficial and Maru was able to stitch it back together, nicely. As with all cat attack victims, the thrush was given a dose of antibiotics to prevent any potential infection caused by the bacteria in the cat's saliva. Remaining with us until the wound is healed, this beautiful garden bird will spend its time in the quieter part of the hospital, to minimise any stress. #wildlife #wild #animals #leatherhead #uk #surrey #rescuecentre #birdsofintagram #birds #rescue #rehabilitation #waf #vets #Maru #care #gardenbirdsuk (at Wildlife Aid - home of TV's Wildlife SOS) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7DzEMFglwq/?igshid=e87957uu2213

Pileated woodpeckers are one of my favorite birds. It’s always a treat to see one soaring through the trees during one of my walks through the woods. Their very distinctive calls bring a smile to my face. Are you a bird lover? Which one I your favorite? This ornament is is the Etsy shop.

When it arrived at the centre, just a few weeks ago, this magpie was unable to fly. An X-ray revealed that this feisty bird had a fracture to its left clavicle and, after an examination, Maru also found it to be rather malnourished. In order for the clavicle to heal properly, the magpie was placed on cage rest for two weeks and prescribed a course of painkillers, to help with any pain. Over the resting period, this plucky character managed to gain a good amount of weight and the fracture healed well; after a fortnight, the bird was in great condition. Following a quick flight test, the magpie had proved that it was fit and ready to be released back in to the wild, once more! #magpie #wildlife #wildanimals #birdsofintagram #flying #Rescue #RescueCentre #rehabilitate #release #animalsofinsta (at Wildlife Aid - home of TV's Wildlife SOS) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4m7TbOgXIS/?igshid=uzrnze5kbal3

This long-tailed tit was brought in to the centre after being caught by a cat. Although it was still bright and responsive, Maru was worried about internal damage and took it straight in for an X-ray. Sadly, the X-ray confirmed that the bird had a broken coracoid but, luckily, this could be treated with cage rest and careful handling. It is now on a course of both antibiotics and painkillers, and is recuperating in one of our pens. There is still quite a bit of healing time to go, but we are keeping everything crossed. #rescue #wildlife #birds #birdsofintagram #animals #wild #fly #cute #leatherhead #surrey #uk (at Wildlife Aid - home of TV's Wildlife SOS) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FfoQjAmEW/?igshid=2urq9mmj484q

I was beyond excited when we found an African Spoonbill at Amboseli National Park. I started talking to him and saying that we knew his cousin Rosie here in the states 😆 My birding friends know exactly what I'm talking about 😉 #Africa #africanspoonbill #spoonbill #amboselinationalpark 🌎 @amboselinationalpark, Africa 🗓 August, 2021 📸 Nikon 🚌 Safari hosted by @liveskyin #birdsofintagram #birding #birdphoto #travel #adventure #photography #bird #kenya #safari #photooftheday  #instagood #bbctravel #travelphotography #BBCWildlifePOTD #YourShotPhotographer #wildlife #ig_captures #pictureperfect #travelpics #natgeoyourshot #explore #neverstopexploring #travelgram #bb_of_ig #africanimals @natgeowild @natgeo_africa @NatGeoYourShot @kenyawildlifeservice @africa @africanimals @audubonsociety @biglifeafrica @birdlife_insta @birdfactofficial @nature_worldwide_birds @pocket_birds @best_birds_photography @best_birds_planet (at Amboseli National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUU2ZsnFy3x/?utm_medium=tumblr
