Feed the Birds (Tuppence a bag!)


All manner of birds with all manner of feeding strategies frequently visit Stapeley...

From the magnificent birds of prey which feed on mice and chicks, to the sea birds which require big and small fish, from the water fowl who feast on bowls of water, seed, bread and chickweed, to the garden birds who gobble up mealworms, more seed and specialised Recovery mix...from the sick who rely on our help to feed, to the orphans who tentatively take from tweezers, from the pigeons and doves who require tube feeding, to the nestlings who need syringe feed...we have and do it all!

This, as you can imagine costs much more than ‘tuppence’ a bag and we are not Mary Poppins! Any donations to Stapeley RSPCA are always gratefully received!  Chat to Lee to see how you, your family or your company can help 0300 123 0722

Orphaned dove and wood pigeons await their feed so have to run. Tube feeding the very young builds them up good and strong, so in time they can feed and fend for themselves...
