Proud of my heritage
About Founder Colin Sutherland
In My Own Words
My Origins.
l thought l would write my own profile, as l am the best person for the job, hopefully, as you read on and find out about me, you will get to know a bit about my work with Owls, Birds of prey and other work, such as the schemes l devised.
l am a proud northern Englishman, a Geordie, born and bred in Newcastle upon Tyne, with a lifelong interest, passion and experience caring for and with Owls and Birds of prey, a dedication that goes beyond just caring for these majestic creatures and the decades spent helping people from all walks of life overcome challenges and develop life skills through my work.
What You See Is What You Get
My honest, no-nonsense approach has earned respect, never telling people just what the want to hear, to do this would be dishonest and no good at all, allowing me to connect with people ranging from royalty and wealthy individuals to disadvantaged communities, with my straightforward nature prioritises truth over appeasement—a quality most people find refreshingly candid, quite honestly, if l upset people by telling then the truth, then that is just the way it is3a, especially when it comes to subject matter cob=vering Owls, Birds of prey and other work.
Now retired, Colin continues to dedicate himself to voluntary work through wings of freedom, tirelessly supporting birds and individuals alike. Over the years, he has established charitable organisations, built rescue centres, and developed innovative programmes designed to help those facing various life challenges. His methods combine compassion, expertise, and creativity, ensuring the best outcomes for both birds in his care and the people who benefit from his initiatives.
Colin’s approach to bird rehabilitation is highly unique and focused. For him, euthanasia is always a last resort. Instead, he prioritises basic needs like food and water, carefully assessing each bird’s condition to create a tailored recovery plan. From devising recovery formulas to developing prosthetics and equipment for injured birds, his innovative solutions have saved countless lives. Wild birds are returned to their natural habitat whenever possible, while those unable to survive independently are provided with rehoming solutions.
Colin’s commitment to his work is unmatched, and he remains open to sharing his knowledge and experiences. If you wish to learn more or discuss his methods, Colin encourages you to reach out directly below.
