Named after our founder, an incredible rook we named Russell Crow – Russell’s Rescue is a small non for profit bird rescue helping injured corvids and various other song birds to be released back into the wild. Based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire the rescue provides long-term housing for disabled corvids, some a permanent home. Over the years we’ve successfully released many birds.

Our main aim is to release birds, but we also provide a referral system and education to the public and other bird rehabbers. We do offer a home as above for some corvids, if they can live happily in captivity.

Founders – Helen and Tristan Motteram and Russell Crow (founded in 2016)
