The Freedom Flight
In 2019 the 12m wide by 6m high circular flight was completed at a cost of $48,000. This is the first of its kind in SA. The circular design allows birds of prey to have a continuous flight pattern with no end in sight. This enables them to reach extreme levels of fitness in order to be released with the best possible chance of survival in the wild. The facility is available for use by members of the community, Vets, rescuers, and all animal institutions as a free community service to complete rehabilitation of injured and orphaned birds of prey that come into care, in an effort to improve biodiversity.
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.
