About us
Rescue and rehabilitation in Mousehole, Cornwall for almost 100 years
Set high atop the cliffs overlooking the picturesque Cornish fishing village of Mousehole, Mousehole Wild Bird Hospital Cornwall provides a safe haven for up to c1,000 wild birds every year. We provide care and support for many different species of bird – from herring gulls to robins, from magpies and crows to pigeons and doves.
The Hospital was founded in 1928 by Dorothy and Phyllis Yglesias. Over the years the Hospital has become famous, especially so during the 1967 Torrey Canyon disaster, when over 8,000 oiled birds passed through the Hospital.
To help the seriously depleted numbers of seabirds from Avian Flu in 2022 we are prioritising these this year.
