“Not enough is done to help people with special needs and perhaps the sanctuary can help in some way.”
Currently, Atif, who works full time as a carer and part time as a cleaner, is looking after 100 pigeons and 50 other birds including, budgies, finches, canaries, and a parrot, with the help of 20 volunteers who help on a part time basis.
So far, the sanctuary has been relying on donations and Atif has been using his own money for materials and equipment “hence the two jobs”.He added: “During the last three months with the cost-of-living crisis, it has been difficult.“And some of the local vets have helped me out with medicines for the birds.”With the help of donations and by using his own money, Atif was able to build a shelter using recycled materials.
He said: “By running the rescue I have met people with children who have special needs and the birds have helped to calm them. “It has made me realise not enough is done to help people with special needs and perhaps the sanctuary can help in some way.” While Atif does not have any formal training with birds, he has 35 years’ experience in helping them.
