Under no circumastances should injured or baby wood pigeons be taken to the RSPCA.
Word is coming through that because of the credit crunch the new RSPCA wildlife policy is to euthanise (KILL) all wildlife taken to them or picked up by them .
They will not pay for any wildlife, including orphans, to be taken to a vet or wildlife rescue centre and inspectors & ACO ( Animal Collection Officers) have been told to kill all wildlife they get instead .
I have heard this from various sources. I have tried to contact the RSPCA advice centre and the RSPCA Wildlife Hosptal at East Winch, Norfolk to verify this information but have been unable to speak to a human being although they will be charging me for listening to their uninformative recorded messages.
