With Spring well underway the GSPCA are asking Islanders to please be mindful of the many fledglings popping up around the Bailiwick.
The GSPCA would like to remind that as a general rule, it is best to leave baby birds alone.
A baby bird has a greater chance of survival in the wild than it has being hand-reared by man as they learn to fend for themselves and how to forage for food by their parents.
Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
In Guernsey a case of Strangles has recently been identified and the GSPCA are asking all equine owners to take care to ensure their animals are kept safe and well.
Strangles is a commonly diagnosed infectious disease that affects all equidae worldwide. Caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi.
The disease is highly contagious and is spread by direct or indirect contact. It can affect any age, sex or breed of horse and remains a widely feared disease because of its debilitating effects and its potential economic impact on equestrian businesses.
After the BIGGEST ever GSPCA event on Easter Sunday a call came into our GSPCA emergency line not for what you would expect such as an Easter bunny but instead for a Christmas turkey.
A stray turkey had been spotted in St Martins and GSPCA Ambulance Warden had to rescue the bird while many around Guernsey enjoyed their Easter Eggs.
The bird is doing very well at the GSPCA and we are currently appealing for the owner to come forward.

Sunday 28th May Giant Animal Mascot 5-a-side football event at 2pm, would like to join in?
Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot event to entertain the crowds at our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.
We are asking businesses, pubs, individuals or anyone as a team of 5 or an individual and we can make extra teams on the day.
From the GSPCA we would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all involved and supported an amazing Easter Event on Sunday.
The event was all thanks to Island FM who teamed up with Regency Bedding and created an exciting event and fundraiser to introduce Primary School Children to a fun afternoon of Taster Sessions of Alternative Sports and Activities with Outdoor Guernsey at Rue Maingy Activity Centre.
The Sporting activities included Archery, the Indoor Climbing Wall and High Ropes.
Yesterday the team at the GSPCA welcomed Heidi Chambers and her family for a guided tour at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
RSPCA Chief Inspector Heidi Chambers is in Guernsey visiting family and has known the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne for many years as they were colleagues when he worked for the RSPCA in the UK.
Steve gave Heidi and her family a behind the scenes tour of the GSPCA and explained the 24/7 work carried out here in Guernsey helping animals and the community.
