The Wing and a Prayer Wild Bird and Owl Haven is a non-profit, independent sanctuary for wildlife based in Norfolk, UK.  We receive no funding whatsoever and rely soley on the generosity of the public to continue our work.

 Our sanctuary in Norfolk is home to many birds and owls, and more recently, hedgehogs!  Fortunately a lot of the wild birds  that come here recover sufficiently to be released back into their natural habitat but inevitably, there are some that cannot be released. We aim to provide these birds and owls with a peaceful environment to live out their natural lives.

We also care for captive-bred, non-native and birds that are too tame to be released. Some are taken in when owners can no longer care for them, some have been badly treated.

All  of the residents are housed  in large aviaries where we  provide them with food, shelter, medical attention if required and a quiet life. Some of the birds, especially the owls can live for many years in captivity.

Our Haven is not open to the public as we do not have the facilities or staff to cope with running a visitor centre,  however, we are happy to organise educational visits for schools on an individual basis.

Please feel free to browse through the site to get a fuller picture of what we do. Be sure to visit the web cam and see live and recorded footage of our various birds and owls. 

If you are interested in helping us, please also visit our Support the Haven page where you can see the many ways that you can assist, from donating bedding to sponsoring a wild bird or owl.

We also have donation buttons on each page should you wish to help financially. 100% of all donations goes directly into the care of the birds at the

Wing and a Prayer Haven.

We hope that you enjoy the slideshow below which features a few of our residents, past and present.
