Becks666 0 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you want ex-batties, there is a group of people that do regular rescues. I can't remember their name, but if you go onto the "down the lane" forum on Facebook, they are affliliated with them, you will also find loads of help and advice from them. The group that do the batty rescue organise "drop off points" all around the country, so you should be able to find one close to you. I think that they just ask for a "donation" for each bird, which is fair enough as they have to cover their fuel expenses etc. Good luck - but do you know how much care you are going to have to put into an ex-batty? They take lots of TLC, but are well worth the extra work in the end and think about it - you are saving them from a life of hell! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
