Big haul going North, East and West!
October 28, 2025
We have fared well this year with our new friends in Trafford, Manchester, who save up all the damaged sacks of food from their shipping contacts, then we will go down and collect; these food donations go on to save quite literally thousands of birds lives, through use on wildlife rescues in Rochdale, Meltham, and Wigton.
The photo with this report shows the storage trailer loaded with just two collections - which were all fully distributed over the course of the weekend. Saving up foodstuffs in this way helps the rescues massively, and scarce funds can then be allocated elsewhere such as medicines, aviaries, and treatments ... plus providing a more varied diet of seeds which we may not usually have been able to afford - but the birds love and tuck into nevertheless.
Thank you everyone!
