A Special - Unusual - Transport For Us...

The 23rd January was a special day thanks to 3 brilliant humans: Holly, John & Emily...

Holly found the little one in question (this post is for an unusual transport for us, of a pet bird) and scooped him up & kept him safe and well and made sure his future was extra bright. What a hero!

This blog post though, is to especially thank John, one of very first UKWT Drivers and one of the kindest people I know…

Earlier this month, Holly - who is actually another of our fab Drivers - found this little cockatiel abandoned (no judgement please, he was healthy & very confident & affectionate so he was clearly very loved & well looked after up to that point & we don’t know why he was abandoned).

Holly took him to a vets for a check up & then kept him safe. After time had passed, a rehoming mission began & Emily, who is not only our UKWT Wildlife Care Advisor but also the caring owner of many Rescue birds already, offered the lucky feathery person a home.

On 22nd January I helped to sort out a relay transport journey, for which Holly would drive the first part of the way and John would meet her and continue on to Emily’s. On 23rd January, the little one arrived at his new home and immediately showed all of the humans there just what a big personality he has & how much attention he expects to receive on a non stop basis.

John, YOUR kindness, driving an over 5 hour round trip, to assist Holly in getting the little one to Emily, was really appreciated. Thank you for chatting to him - explaining the theory of relativity - and for keeping him nice & entertained on the journey so that he was as calm as could be on arrival. Thank you for being the person who ALWAYS, for every animal you can, says ‘yes’ to helping.

This isn’t the first time you’ve helped with long journeys to make sure an animal gets to a good future. In all of the years that you’ve volunteered for UKWT, you’ve been an inspiration.

Thank you so much John, from myself, Holly & Emily too!
