Meet Happy, my Caique parrot. He recently came home but he’s so sweet and gentle.

Me to my babies

These two juvenile herring gulls arrived at the centre after being transferred from a veterinary practice. They had been raised from chicks by a member of the public but when they grew too big, she was unsure how to continue caring for them. Both are in very good health with excellent body condition, although, still too young to fly. They were placed straight in to one of our pond aviaries, to join three more juvenile herring gulls in our care. All five are at slightly different stages of growth, with the two older ones starting to stretch their wings. Hopefully it won’t be too long before our two newbie’s will be doing the same. #herringgull #birds #Wildlife #animals #handraised #youngsters #growingup #gulls https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BLICNAhl0/?igshid=4y7nmz1pikvw

The baby buns are working at trying some nice solids. I like how nice the parsley makes their breath. #baby #babyanimals #handraised #bunny #rabbit #parsley #noms
