Hello there! My name is Lynsey and I shall be reporting (via this blog) over the next four months about my animal encounters and the goings on here at Stapeley Grange Wildlife Hospital. Its only with CJ Wildlife's funding that I am at Stapeley this year. This is a great opportunity for me and having worked here for the past couple of years I know what a big difference having an extra summer placement will have to the running of the Centre over what is an extremely busy 4 months for the team.
I have spent much of today in the corvid room and am loving the juvenile jackdaws with their fuzzy grey heads! On entering their enclosure with food I am faced with nearly 20 of the cheeky critters all squawking hysterically, bright red mouths gaping, landing on my shoulders and arms (cue music from Alfred Hitchcocks’ The Birds), in attempt to be fed first. The noise (without ear defenders) is truly deafening, yet quite comical. On exiting the room with buzzing ears, I asked one of the staff a question, her initial response....‘Why are you shouting at me?!’ .
