The GSPCA has had an incredibly busy year in 2020 with baby birds of all shapes and sizes.

We are appealing for volunteers to make knitted nests for the baby birds in our care. 

With our intensive care units bursting with young animals these nests really help keep young birds feel safe and keep them warm.

Around 2 weeks after hatching young birds in your Bailiwick garden usually leave the nest, just before they learn how to fly.
