We are a normal couple who both work full time. Our few hours per day outside of work, and our few pounds per week after bills, are all spent helping local wildlife (particularly wild birds).
We have invested an awful lot of our own time and money into building temporary housing for sick and injured birds, but a storm earlier in the year destroyed them.
We have never asked for financial help in feeding, housing, or treating these birds, despite crippling vet's fees.
We now realise though, that accepting help would allow us to help more birds
