AS WE START TO RE-OPEN, PLEASE UNDERSTAND WE HAVE JUST SURVIVED ONE OF THE HARDEST CHALLENGES WE’VE EVER FACED.
WHILE WE’RE EXCITED TO OPEN, WE ARE STILL STRESSED. WE ARE NOT THROUGH THE WOODS YET.
PLEASE DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED UPON US DUE TO NEW POLICIES AND REGULATIONS. WE DON’T HAVE THE SAME BUSINESS WE HAD A FEW MONTHS AGO.
WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO ADAPT TO THE SITUATION, BUT EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT FOR US.
BE KIND. BE COMPASSIONATE. HAVE PATIENCE.
WE’RE STILL TRYING TO RECOVER FROM BATTLE NUMBER ONE AND OUR NEXT BATTLE OF REBUILDING HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN.
We have taken the hard decision to keep the tearooms/gift area closed for the rest of this season. We cannot afford to put protective screens up. We don’t have any staff to sanitise all the gift stock everytime people touch items. We don’t have staff to serve refreshments. So I ask you to be understanding in these very difficult times.
Therefore, there will be no refreshments available onsite or any gifts to purchase. Please feel free to bring along your own food/drink.
We are also on reduced hours as we have a lot more cleaning to do before and after your visit. We will be open 11am – 3pm Wednesdays & Thurdays with a flying display at 1pm (weather permitting)
We do hope you’ll still enjoy your visit.
Look forward to seeing you soon.

JOIN US AND HELP US BY DONATING
The centre is run with a very small team, everything we do is done by self funding and we do not get any money for the work we do.It is therefore so important for us to have donations from the public either by way of our amazon wish list or in monetary value for us to continue to build new enclosures and support the wildlife already at our centre or the new ones to come over the years.

Have had quite a few birds in this week. One gull had a broken wing, so sadly had to be put to sleep. Adult pigeon was released yesterday 😍. Other gulls are awaiting to head down to Mousehole when ready. Then tonight another little bird was handed in. Extremely underweight, it has been fed, so let's see what tonight brings. Fingers crossed 🤞
So yesterday, we welcomed another 20 cockatiels. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances, their owner could no longer care for them, so we were contacted. As u all know, even in such difficult times, such as these, we just can't turn animals away. 😍
Would anyone like to adopt the group of cockatiels? If so it's £35 for the year. You'll get a plaque in front of their aviary, a picture of the cockatiels, a certificate of adoption and two free entry tickets into the centre ☺.
Tickets are now available to book online for day tickets for Wednesdays and Thursdays and Private Bookings available too.
