Adopt an Owl
Owl adoption
There are 5 species of owl in the UK, including the Barn owl, Little owl, Tawny owl, Long-eared owl and Short-eared owl.
Habitat destructions, road traffic accidents (RTAs), and the use of pesticides (the owl's prey consumes vegetation with the pesticide on it and the owl digests the prey), are all threats to wild owl populations.
Since WAF was formed, we have continued to take in orphaned owl chicks and provide them around the clock care to help build their strength for a life in the wild.
What’s included in your owl adoption pack
Not only will you be providing invaluable care and helping countless animals, but you will also receive an exclusive owl adoption pack, including cuddly toy, species brochure, certificate of adoption, photo and more. NOTE: The pack will include either 'The Owl with the Golden Heart' book or 'Wildlife SOS' book, dependent on stock.
How your adoption will help
Owls, with their round heads and large forward-facing eyes, are one of Britain’s most recognisable species.
Each year, at WAF, we receive multiple owlets that have fallen from their nest. These owls stay in our care until they are strong enough to return to the wild. Typically, we will release the owls where they were originally found.
Your adoption will help us to continue to look after the many owls that require our support, each year.
