Welcome to our site

Three Owls Bird Sanctuary & Reserve is a Registered Charity (No. 298352), which has been helping wild birds for the last FIFTY years, since being founded in 1962. It is affiliated to the Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust.

For most of that time, it has been a wild bird hospital, sanctuary, and nature reserve, now more recently has taken on a conservation and education role which helps wild birds and the general public in the following ways;

1. It provides habitat and sanctuary in our two nature reserves;The Home Reserve, Norden of 4 acres and Three Owls Wood, Tarleton 7.5 acres. Two more reserves may be in the pipeline - watch this space !!

      2. We run a Helpline giving advice to anyone finding a wild bird in distress. Last year, we gave out 20,565 minutes of advice in 5,046 calls; saving many hundreds of bird lives along the way. Advice is also available and freely given via our text and email facility.

      3. There are several ways in which we provide an educational resource through our Website. Here you can find out the best way to help birds in your local area, whether it is for finding an injured or orphaned bird in distress, by choice of food for different species, or even building a nestbox.

        There are also some common questions and answers, which are often asked, including how to find your local bird rescue/sanctuary.

      4. We make grants to established organisations helping wild birds.

In 2010 we distributed over £21,200 in grants, and £96,500 of equipment to help save wild birds lives.

In 2011, further grants were made totalling over £15,000, each grant meaning that precious wild bird lives are being saved, protected and enhanced.
The giving of grants ensures the work of saving wild birds lives covers as large an area as possible. Two of the organisations to benefit recently were The Barn Owl Trust (http://www.barnowltrust.org.uk/), and Knoxwood Wildlife Rescue Trust (http://www.knoxwood.org/).
