Mammals - Silverband Falconry Cumbria UK
For as many years as we have worked with birds people have brought rescued animals to us, for first aid and recuperation. Over the years we have cared for countless birds, and we have also dealt with our fair share of exotic animals and wild mammals, including Foxes, Polecats, and this year a Badger Cub. Many of these mammals have been youngsters which have needed feeding regularly necessitating us taking them with us to work where they have generated huge interest.The result of this attention prompted us to start a program of work with Mammals. The mammals we use are all captive bred as any rescue animals are destined to be released back into the wild where ever possible.

Mammals are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom and yet we know very little about them. Coming across them even less in the wild.
Cute and furry, many mammals are kept as pets, often in conditions that are far from ideal for their requirements. So our programs have been developed with this in mind.

want it.

Many
mammals are under pressure in the wild now with some on the verge of
extinction in Britain. Birds often draw more publicity than mammals
because
they are more visible but mammals require just as much help. Again our
mammal programs cover these subjects.
All
of our Wildlife Interpreters have extensive knowledge of mammals and are
experts in their fields and can pitch sessions at any level.
