It was just another rescue Lyz thought as she jumped in to her car and made her way to the Victorian house situated in the idyllic Norfolk country side. She had received the call a few minutes earlier and had been told there was a bird stuck inside a chimney. The owner of the house had first contacted a large animal rescue only to be told to leave the baby bird for 36 hours to see if it would make its own way out!
Not happy with that answer, she called Hallswood.
Arriving at the property Lyz found not only a very long chimney but it was also bricked up and was told by the lady of the house to simply break part of it down; she would not have a baby die in her house.
Doing as she was told (that’s a first 😀 ) she started to chisel away and what happened then was just like a cartoon...
First nothing, then nothing and then BOOOOOOM; an avalanche of black soot, sticks and two beautiful little baby jackdaws. Suddenly the all white bedroom with white carpet was no longer white!
We know that there are a lot of different views when it comes to corvids but what is important to remember is that for the balance of nature to work, we need them all.
It is the balance that make nature wonderful and beautiful.
