On Thursday last week a stray blue budgie was found on Ruette De Saumarez and is now at the GSPCA.
Each year we help dozens of stray pet parakeets, parrots and finches at the GSPCA.
Sadly we rarely find the owners of the smaller birds and we are currently appealing for any information if you know of anyone that has lost a stray budgie.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Last Thursday we helped a stray budgie which we have named 'Blu'."
On Friday 9th September a Herman tortoise was been rescued in near the Princess Elizabeth Hospital.
He is now in the care of the Shelter in a pen under the care of the team at the GSPCA.
The team have named him 'Micky' and we are appealing for the owner to please get in touch.
During Spring and Summer the GSPCA often see up to 30 male stray tortoise, although we rarely see females that are lost.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Poor Micky the stray tortoise that arrived on Friday was found near the PEH."
Two stray corn snakes have been rescued and are now in the care of the GSPCA in the last two weeks.
Each year we help a small number of snakes that are found in gardens or on the road that have escaped from their owners.
The first was found near St Saviour's Reservoir nearly two weeks ago and another was rescued on Saturday in La Mare de Carteret.
Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "Currently we have two stray snakes in our care 'Pollyana' who was rescued two weeks ago in St Saviour's and 'Boey' who is from La Mare de Carteret on Saturday."

This evening three stray budgies were found near Saumarez Park which were kindly transported to the GSPCA by Leo Thomas founder of Sarnia Guinea Pig Rescue.
The two male and one female birds were found together and both males are in fairly good condition, with the female bird with a few small injuries but otherwise fine.
The birds have been named Major, Manuel and Sybil.
We have already had a number of stray canaries and budgies found this year and sadly many are never claimed and are either rehomed or cared for at the Animal Shelter.
On the 11th May a very different delivery was made by the post man.
A stray tortoise was fond on L'Ancresse by a Guernsey Post staff member and brought into the GSPCA.
'Skimmer' as staff and volunteers have named the male, adult tortoise was found on La Garenne.
As with many tortoise Skimmer is quite distinctive.
Each year we help around 30 stray tortoise which are handed into the GSPCA and we find the owners for nearly every one.
Thankfully he is safe and warm at the GSPCA, but we are appealing for the owner to come forward.
On the 12th May a stray bunny was rescued near Delancy Park and brought into the GSPCA.
He is an albino, male, dwarf, friendly, adult rabbit.
The team have called the bunny who is very sweet 'Sebastian'.
We are appealing for the owner of the rabbit to please get in touch with the GSPCA on 01481 257261 or email [email protected]
