Bulwell care home celebrates National Robin Day
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Barchester Hall Park care home in Bulwell got into the festive spirit helping out our feathered friends when they celebrated National Robin Day on 21st December.
National Robin Day is an annual nationwide event raising awareness of small birds and other wildlife in winter and how we can all help them through this tough time of year. The aim of the event is to inspire people to take action for wildlife. The nation’s favourite bird, the robin, symbolises the festivities of Christmas time. The cold winter months are especially tough for animals; as temperatures drop and food becomes scarce, wildlife such as garden birds need a little extra help.
Residents had a brilliant time making robin-themed Christmas cards.
General Manager, Jodie Rakhra, said: “Our residents love to watch all the birds in the garden so these activities were right up their street. It’s important to look after our wildlife at this time of year when the ground is so hard.No one wants to think of the birds going hungry.”
June Parnell, a resident said: “I love all birds but I have an extra special soft spot for a robin, they are just so pretty and so Christmassy. I hope we’ll see lots more now that we have filled up all the bird feeders.”
