Garden Bird Sanctuary Dublin?

    Yesterday afternoon a young female chaffinch flew full force into my window. The vet thinks she won't fly again so not suitable for rehab, bad wing damage.



    I've tried wildlife ireland and one mobile number seems to be the same for all sanctuaries listed and it never answers or is off. I'm sure they're very busy so that's understandable.



    Does anyone have any suggestions where I might find a new home for this little critter?

    where are you located?

    If shes young enough, and isnt going to be able to fly again, keeping her (in a cage) is
    probably her only chance. If youve taken her to the vet, and shes still alive she might just survive - chaffinch's are lovely - photo?

    She didn't make it through the 2nd night unfortunately. RIP Little wing.

    Have you tried the rehab wing of Kildare Animal Foundation? They came up to Dublin to help an injured dove (broken/ damaged wing) that I had found.
