Bird-lover's
nurturing knits
Bird-lover and keen knitter Linda Jacobs is helping us nurture
baby birds brought into our centres. Her daughter Emma, who
is one of our photography team, spotted a need her mum could
potentially fill - could she knit tiny nests to keep these birds safe
and warm? "I jumped at the chance," says Linda. "It's so important
to preserve our wild birds and I was thrilled to know I could actually
do something to help." Linda has knitted and purled her way
through many woollen cosies, which Emma distributes to grateful
centres on her travels. Now, when kind-hearted members of the
public bring in injured or orphaned baby birds, the birds have
somewhere safe to settle until they get their feathers.
Volunteers like Linda take many thousands of actions like this
every single year. They are all part of our amazing millions-strong
movement, making a big difference for animals of every kind.
