A bird rescue centre in Bodelwyddan, North Wales, has been forced to close due to financial problems – but its owners refuse to give up.

Denbighshire Wildlife Rescue Centre, which also cares for unwanted pet birds and animals, is looking to rehome some of its inmates. These include an African grey, a barn owl, a tawny owl and a Bengalese eagle owl. The centre will close on March 1 unless donations start coming in.
