Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital Cornwall

At Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital Cornwall we are about to embark on a period of growth and transformation in the run up to our centenary year in 2028. This means that over the ​naturally quieter winter period, we will be undertaking a range of necessary maintenance and renovations work on our site at Mousehole. Due to the stress that the unavoidable noise and upheaval would cause the birds in our care, we cannot have any patients on site during this period. We will keep you updated on progress through our socials and on our website where we will continue to share news, knowledge, advice, and updates.
We are still contactable by telephone, email, Facebook and Instagram for advice.
