Bird charity launches Xmas card alternative

If sending Christmas Cards isn't your thing, the Manx Wild Bird Aid has an alternative.

Writing cards can be enjoyable for some, but a chore for others, so if you'd prefer to help a charity instead  - the Bird Aid have a message you can share on social media.

The shareable image reads 'instead of buying Christmas cards this year - made a donation to the Manx Wild Bird Aid, 100% of the donations go towards the care of sick and injured birds on the Isle of Man.'

The charity has said their hospital unit is full and donations can help pay for food and vet care.

Manx Wild Bird Aid is a registered charity on the Isle of Man that rehabilitates sick, injured or orphaned wild birds and returns them to the wild.
