mousehole wild bird hospital and sanctuary association
Penzance
Set high atop the cliffs overlooking the picturesque Cornish fishing village of
Mousehole, Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital Cornwall provides a safe haven for over
1,000 wild birds every year. We provide care and support for many different
species of bird – from herring gulls to robins, from magpies and crows to
pigeons and doves.
Unfortunately, the Hospital is currently closed to all admittances. On the 19th
of August 2022 DEFRA confirmed an avian influenza (bird flu) outbreak on site,
which resulted in the euthanasia of all birds and the Hospital having to close
for 12 months; as per the instruction of APHA. This has had a devastating impact
on the staff and the charity. During this closure, extensive work is being
undertaken to ensure Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital Cornwall can reopen, stronger
than ever, with new facilities and policies implemented. To support our
reopening, please visit the Support Us tab on our website.
