I have had a few injured/sick magpies sent to their wildlife 'hospital' over the past few months as I feed them so can catch them when they aren't well. I have called and followed up on all of them and all of them have been euthanized. Even the ones with very minor injuries who were still able to eat/fly/walk.

The latest one I sent was a very sweet girl who came to me for help. I just called their wildlife hospital and it turns out she had a fractured leg so "it had to be euthanized". She was otherwise fine and had been fine a couple of days earlier and bird fractures can heal very well. They just didn't bother to give her a chance.

At this point I am disgusted with them. If you find an injured animal (especially a bird) try to send them anywhere else first (unfortunately the RSPCA aren't much better though). I will not be sending any animals to them again. I'm sick of sending them to their deaths because of these peoples laziness. They have a better chance of survival with me.

The only magpie I've found that was actually treated and released was treated at an exotics vet. I'd recommend taking injured or sick animals to an exotics vet if possible. If that magpie had have gone to this place or the RSPCA he would have...

Phone at 1138 about an injured water dragon that looks like it was attacked by something and had a wound and a broken leg. Was told they were not busy and that they would be here in half an hour. 1 hour later got told they had to go to another critical rescue on the way. This lizard was critical. 2 hours later they finally showed up. The lizard by than I think was dead. I saw it take it's last breath about 5 minutes before they showed up. I am so annoyed at how long it took them to get here. This poor thing was gasping for air for 2 hours !. I sat and watched this poor thing the whole time he was there. If they came sooner I believe he would have had a much better chance of surviving. If i knew they were going to take 2 hours i would have dropped him off myslef. I really believe you should have on call staff the north side of the coast. You are a huge company with loads if money but can't provide a very quick pickup for poor animals. This is the second time I have called last time I called it was about a bird and it died before they got there again 2 and a half...
