A safe haven for native animals

Our patients recover at our centre after treatment at Wildbase Hospital, they change regularly as they recover and are released back into the wild.

Our resident animals are with us all the time so there is always something to see.

I was found on the road, unable to fly

Where did I come from?

How did the vets help me?

I was treated for a right humeral (wing) fracture by the team at Wildbase Hospital.  After plenty of cage rest, I'm now working on building my fitness, stamina, waterproofing, and feather regrowth.
