A bit of base time for Ryan and Nipper 🦅
Nipper has just come through his moult, so it’s a great opportunity for Ryan to spend some one-to-one time with him, build that bond and give him a thorough once-over to make sure he’s in tip-top condition.
Excuse the slightly wobbly, back-to-front footage 😂 Ryan was buzzing to be spending time with him and couldn’t wait to show us just how settled Nipper is on the glove. ❤️🦅

Meet Scooter 🦅
Scooter is one of our newest falcons—a Gyr × Saker hybrid currently in the early stages of his training.
Building trust is the foundation of everything we do, and feeding confidently from the glove is an important step in developing a strong partnership.

👋 Did you spot us at Turf Moor?

Ryan and Jeff were out and about at Turf Moor last week, doing what they do best. 🦅⚽

We work at some pretty impressive places, so if you spot the Lancashire Bird Control team out and about, give us a wave or come and say hello! 👋

You never know where you might see us next… 👀🦅

🪽 Sometimes, the kindest thing we can do is let them go.

A couple of weeks ago, we received a call from one of our sites regarding an injured juvenile gull.

We attend this site as part of an ongoing bird management programme, helping to move gulls further back to safer areas within the site.

A few days before our visit, a gull had been reported as having been hit by a car. Unfortunately, it had managed to hide out of sight and couldn't be located at the time. When the bird was eventually found, it was clear the injury was substantial and infection had already begun to set in.

Charlotte safely caught the gull and it was taken to Animal A&E Vets in Blackpool, who without hesitation took the bird in for assessment.

Sadly, due to the severity and location of the injury, the decision was made to humanely euthanise the gull.

It’s never an easy outcome, but sometimes euthanasia really is the kindest option. This gull would not have been able to fly and would have been left suffering with ongoing pain.

Bird management isn't always about moving birds on. Sometimes it's about recognising when one needs help and making sure it receives the appropriate care.

Not every rescue has a happy ending, but every bird deserves compassion. ❤️🪽

🪽 Bird control isn’t always what people presume…

This young gull had found itself on a lower roof at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, surrounded by built-up sides. As it wasn’t yet able to fly properly, it simply couldn’t gain enough lift to get itself back out.

Our very own Charlotte was quickly on hand to rescue it and relocate it to a more suitable roof, safely back near its parents. ❤️

Bird management at its finest. 🦅🪽
