We Need Your Help Now!

The Owls Trust, based atBodafon Farm Park, Llandudno, is a small charity doing a big and important job. We have one of the most comprehensive collections of owls on display to the public in the UK.

There are three main strands to our work. Firstly, we provide rescue and rehabilitation to injured birds of prey. Then, we nurse the wild birds back to health and, when they are ready, we release them back into a suitable habitat. Often, we are asked to step in to rescue “pet” owls. These birds are frequently distressed and in poor condition. When we can we give them a permanent home with us where they can regain a good quality of life in more spacious and appropriate surroundings suitable to their species.

Secondly, we educate young people and older groups about our birds of prey, their place in our environment and how we can maintain their habitats to protect the biodiversity of our countryside.

Finally, we work with international partners to create and maintain breeding stocks of the world’s rarest owls. When imperilled habitats can be restored and protected, we will then be able to enhance threatened populations or even reintroduce new groups.

Currently, we are working with SOFAfrica in Kenya to raise awareness amongst the children of the importance of their environment and how their many owl species are natural pest controllers thus reducing the use of harmful poisons and pesticides. Seventeen owl species can be found in Kenya.
