Unless there is a concern that a planning application or development will have an impact on birds or other wildlife, we are unable to help.

If you have found an injured bird, contact an experienced wildlife rehabilitator, which can be found on the Irish Wildlife Matters website

If you are concerned about an abandoned baby bird, please remember that it is often the case that they do not need help and it is normal for young birds to leave the nest before they are able to fly. It is best to return the bird back to where it was found or to its nest if it does need help so that its parents can look after it. Otherwise, it will need specialist care.
