North Wales Bird Trust Details
The NWBT provides rescue and rehabilitation to injured and distressed birds of prey. We nurse the wild birds back to health and, when they are ready, we release them back into a suitable habitat. There is an increasing "fashion" of caging large owls and birds of prey as "pets". Unfortunately very few of such owners have the space or commitment to care effectively for these magnificent creatures and we are often asked to step in to rescue them. These birds are frequently distressed and in poor condition. We give them permanent homes with us where they can regain a good quality of life in more spacious and appropriate surroundings.Our second activity is to educate young people and older groups in North Wales about our local birds of prey, their place in our environment and how we can maintain their habitats to protect the bio-diversity of our countryside.Finally, we work with international partners to create and maintain breeding stocks of the world's rarest owls. When imperilled habitats can be restored and protected, we will be able to enhance threatened populations or even reintroduce new groups.
