Repair wings and rehabilitate birds of prey — gifts from £8.
Reviewed — prices checked with partner shelters
How does my donation help owls & birds of prey?
Your gift funds care for injured owls and birds of prey: £8 feeds a rescued owl, £20 pays for a week in a flight aviary to rebuild strength, and £55 contributes to wing repair surgery after collisions. Every owl rescue gift is costed care.
Most owls arrive after road collisions or entanglement. Surgery mends the wing; the flight aviary rebuilds the muscle. Release back to their home territory is the goal for every bird. Nobody takes an owl home; the till is the gift tags on this page.
Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a owl in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.
Can I take this owl home?
No. These tags fund named care at partner shelters and sanctuaries. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.
Is a owl gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.

Owl rescue questions
How much does it cost to feed a rescued owl?
£8 covers a week of proper raptor food for one owl in care. See all owl rescue gifts.
Can I give a owl rescue donation as a gift?
Yes. Every donation comes with a personalised e-certificate you can email or print, naming the person you are giving it for — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. It is a charity gift, not a bird you take home.
Can I take this owl home?
No. Tags on the owl gift page fund named care at partner shelters and sanctuaries. Recovered birds are released. For a local wildlife hospital, use the rescue directory.
Is a owl gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.
What happens to an owl after wing surgery?
After surgery the bird moves to a flight aviary — about £20 a week — to rebuild flight muscle. Once it can fly and hunt confidently, it is released back where it was found.
