Emergency Advice for Injured Animals and Birds
Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre provides a free community service to rehabilitate injured and orphaned native animals and birds brought to the Centre. We do not collect or euthanize offsite.
Beware - Injured animals and Birds can hurt you and you can hurt them!
Incorrect treatment and handling can cause distress and further pain and injury to injured animals and birds.
This page is here to give you some basic tips, but you must exercise full caution, to avoid injuring your self, or the animal!
All animal rescue carries an element of risk of injury, before undertaking any animal rescue first consider your own safety. Many well intentioned animal rescuers have ended up in hospital, or dead, trying to help injured animals.
We recommend that if you are at all in doubt, or are likely to put yourself at risk, please call us, or some other appropriate authority, for help first, before you do anything else.
Wild animals are not used to being handled and are very susceptible to stress. If handled improperly, they are likely to struggle and hurt themselves even more. It is crucial to take care with the rescue of any native animal, and to reduce the animal's stress as much as possible.
