Blue Highlights Bird Rescue in Brora, Scotland, was accessed twice between January 19 and January 28. Two animals being treated at the centre were released from separate aviaries during the break-ins.

The birds have since been found but the charity has warned one was badly injured as a result and may not fully recover.

Police are investigating the incident.

Centre manager Jane Wilson told the Northern Times: “The police are actively investigating, and have been provided with CCTV images thanks to the system our supporters helped to provide.

“We have recovered both birds thanks to a wonderful neighbour in Golf Road, and some very observant local supporters, and for that we are extremely grateful.

“One bird has been very badly injured as a result of the release, and has needed further emergency care.

“We don’t know if he can fully recover.

“Somewhere in our village, there is someone who is willing to endanger animals that are supposed to be safe, recovering and cared for, which is sickening.”

Blue Highlights Bird Rescue cares for sick, injured and orphaned birds before returning them safely back into the wild.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Scotland Police on 101 or send a message via their website quoting NE/428/22 as their reference.

Anonymous reports can be made to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
