The Christmas Lottery this year is helping save lives.

Thanks to a grant from the Christmas Lottery the GSPCA have been able to purchase an additional 5 Intensive Care Units.

June is always a busy month for the GSPCA as we are inundated with young animals and birds.

Currently the GSPCA has many young birds, baby hedgehogs, kittens, baby bunnies, new born degus, not to mention many sick and injured animals and birds.

The team at the GSPCA were overjoyed to be one of the many worthy causes to receive a grant to help purchase additional Intensive Care Units.

Please help care for the wildlife of Guernsey | A message from the GSPCA and RSPB Guernsey

Submitted by GSPCA on 11:38, 13th Jun, 2013 | 0

The GSPCA and RSPB in Guernsey want you and your dog to enjoy your walk but we are appealing to owners to take care when you are out walking.

Spring and early Summer is the main season when your dog needs to be properly controlled to protect young farm animals and ground-nesting birds.

Ground nesting birds during the bird breeding season, which is usually April to July is a time when we are asking you to keep your dog under close control or on a short lead in areas where they may be nesting.

What to do if you find a baby bird in Guernsey

Submitted by GSPCA on 10:40, 11th Jun, 2013 | 0

Over the last few weeks the GSPCA have been receiving baby birds on a daily basis and the Animal Shelter would like to remind everyone what to do if  you find a young bird.

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.
