Please help birds/wildlife - if you're having fireworks, choose quiet ones
If you're planning on fireworks for Guy Fawkes, please keep in mind that as it's spring, there are lots of baby birds nesting in gardens. The loud noise of some fireworks can terrify birds so much, parent birds fly away from their nest and don't return, so the baby birds then die. Young birds may also be so scared, they leap from the nest and end up on the ground, where they starve or are caught by cats.
If you're thinking of having fireworks, please choose quieter ones and stay in large, open areas, well away from trees or shrubs where birds might be nesting. This will help other wildlife and pets too. Thank you!
