Gower Bird Hospital is based in Pennard on the
Gower Peninsula. Its purpose is to care for
sick, injured and orphaned birds and animals
with the sole intention of returning them to the
wild.
The Hospital treats all species of wild birds and small
mammals, mainly hedgehogs.
Registered as a charity in 1996, Gower Bird Hospital
currently admits over 1200 patients every year.
Rehabilitation is an essential part of our work. After
initial intensive care, the Hospital provides rehabilitation
aviaries to give the birds as natural an environment as
possible. These facilities are equipped with CCTV to enable
us to observe and assess patients before release.
