Swift As A Bird

Thankyou to all whom participated in the two raffles October, November & December we raised a great £290.00 for the www.thesca.org.uk Parrot Rescue

The SCA have a large project, they have eight beautiful cockatoos to be rehomed urgently (we are trying to get hold of pictures and stories on the birds) and need to raise estimated at present £15,000 for wire mesh alone to build aviaries. These birds are in need of urgent rehoming as the holding station is being sold.

Some pictures in the gallery

So lets see what we can do to help them 

WE ARE COLLECTING MOBILE PHONES FOR RECYCLING TO RAISE MONEY FOR The SCA, WHO ARE A BIRD CHARITY DEALING WITH THE CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, RESCUE AND REHOMING OF ALL AVIAN SPECIES.  THEY DONT HAVE TO WORK AND IT DOESNT MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE. PLEASE BRING ANY DOWN TO THE SHOP

THANKYOU
