After 6 weeks of hand rearing and rehabilitation baby Barn Owl Archimedes who was close to death on entry was returned to the wild this weekend.
The young bird was severely thin and very close to loosing his life and was found near to Candie Gardens very early in the morning in early June.
Thankfully with the skills of the team at the GSPCA and an intensive care unit the young bird survived his first week and as he improved we weaned him to eat himself and then placed in an aviary to see how he fed on his own.

Last week one of the GSPCA Volunteer Night Wardens were called out to rescue a very sick, weak and starving baby barn owl in St Peter Port.
The young bird was severely thin and very close to loosing his life and was found near to Candie Gardens very early on Thursday morning.
Thankfully with the skills of the team at the GSPCA and an intensive care unit the young bird has survived his first week and today started to eat on his own.
After a period inside we plan to transfer him to an outside aviary where he will learn to fly and forage for food.

Back in late July the GSPCA Ambulance Collection Officer Geoff George helped rescue a baby Barn Owl in Castel.
The young bird was severely thin and very close to loosing her life.
Thankfully with the skills of the team at the GSPCA and an intensive care unit the young bird was saved and nursed back to health.
After a period inside she was transferred to an outside aviary where she learnt to fly and forage for food.
As she grew stronger and her weight increased the GSPCA team monitored her progress with a wildlife camera.

Earlier this week GSPCA staff were called out to help rescue a Bird of Prey.
On arriving at the scene at La Coudre, St Pierre Du Bois GSPCA staff member Annabelle Janes was shown the way to where the Bird had been found.
She quickly secured the very distressed Bird and made her way directly to Eturs Vets.
On closer inspection the Bird was identified as a Buzzard which had been shot by an air gun or rifle through the right shoulder.

After an operation to remove a lump from his throat and an overnight stay Nouska the Husky is back at the Animal Shelter and doing well.
The lump which was found after Nouska was signed over to the Shelter has now been removed and he is on pain relief, antibiotics and a special food to help his recovery.
We have sent the lump away to be diagnosed and will hopefully no longer cause Nouska and more issues.

The GSPCA helps care for and rescue thousands of animals every year and without our wonderful volunteers we really couldn't do it.
From cleaning kennels to fundraising there are dozens of roles for volunteers to help the GSPCA and next Wednesday we have our second Volunteer Welcome and Induction Evening.
With the success of the first last month which drew a crowd of 18 new volunteers to the Shelter the second is planned for 6.30pm on the 17th July.

This week we have received a young kitten that was rescued out at Icart Point.
The GSPCA are concerned that there may be others and if you are out in the area and come across any please get in touch with the Shelter.
Tiger as he has been named was found extremely thin, no mother in site and full of worms, fleas and may not have survived if he had not been rescued.
This time of year kittens are often rescued and brought into the GSPCA and just this morning another feral was rescued and brought in from the Bouet area who is now named Molly.
