owl Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 JazztheDestroyer on here, BC on Doglost, returned from a day out to find someone had stolen her buzzard from his aviary which is not visible from the road. Her partner was in the house at the time. The person must have known Buzby was there and is tame enough to handle. A pair of tawny owls, less tame, were untouched. All these birds of prey were taken in from a sanctuary which was closing down. I know the steps to take if your dog is stolen of course, and some are the same for a bird - police, local radio, papers, posters. Petshops, asking them to see if any new people are buying frozen stuff. But are there any bird-of-prey people on here who can help me do some networking please? To make matters worse, JtD has been offline for several days as her phone pole was struck by lightning. Should be back online tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Will keep an ear out this end Phebe . Might be worth asking Dragons Lair , Borth Animalarium , Fantasy Farm , Aberaeron Wildlife and Leisure Park ( not sure if they are still open ) if they get offered him Donna x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks, Donna. Didn't think of Fantasy Farm Park but will call them. Calling Jean at Newquay Bird Hospital tomorrow, will ask her to ring Borth as she knows them and also may know of other places on the bird network. The Aberaeron Wildlife Park still exists but hasn't been open to the public for a few years. Steve Harty who runs it does a lot of bird rescue, he rehomes any aviary birds which come my way. He is my number one port of call tomorrow. We will be postering the pet shop he runs in Aberaeron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 The poster OH made is on his PC which has thrown a wobbler. Mine does not have printer software thingy. Doglost techie lady has made a poster which sahe put on a doc file which mine won't read, have asked her to make it a jpeg then I can send it to you. Police have visited aviary etc, IBR have been very helpful and so has a raptor rescuer down in Ciliau Aeron who I had never heard of before. Suddenly I am learning a lot about raptors and meeting new and interesting people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
