Time Out feature Pop Up Crow Cafe

[Artaxerxes]

Saw this event in Time Out this week, and it looked great.


Then I Googled the Raven Haven helping to set the event up and, well it may not have been the best idea to have them help.

FORMER volunteers of a shamed Crowthorne bird sanctuary have spoken out in shock after its owner was banned from keeping animals for just 12 months despite being sentenced for a string of wildlife and drugs offences.

A raid of Raven Haven Bird Sanctuary in May 2015 uncovered one of the biggest cases of wildlife crime Thames Valley Police has dealt with and saw more than 180 birds seized and many put down on the spot due to untreated injuries and illness.

Police discovered filthy cages, injured birds kept in cat carriers and pigeons flying free around the house during the raid, as well as an upstairs bedroom housing 70 cannabis plants and 9kg of the drug ready for sale.

Don't so much mind the weed but the half crippled animals isn't very good now.
