About our Sanctuary

We provide a specialised Sanctuary for Owls and Birds of Prey

Established in 1997, our Sanctuary is dedicated to the lifelong care and protection of a significant number of Captive-bred Owls and Birds of Prey. Over the years, we have offered refuge for birds that have been placed in care by their keepers as unwanted pets, as well as a large number of Owls and Birds of Prey that were placed in our care by the RSPCA, this followed a legal case of cruelty, where the keeper was prosecuted.

Many of the birds in our care have complex histories, behaviors, and traumas. To ensure their well-being, we operate a 24-hour Sanctuary that is not open to the Public. By opening our doors to the Public would require us to apply for a Zoo License, this would not be in the best interest of our Sanctuary, when considering the sensitive nature of all the birds now in our care.

Our Sanctuary operates with a core ethos of Bird Welfare, Conservation, and Education. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing environment where our birds can thrive without the stress of operating as a registered Zoo, prioritising the birds welfare is important to our Charity.
