My mother was the go-to person to present with injured or orphaned animals. When I lived with my parents we had two aviaries in the garden. One contained two tawny owls and the other had a kestrel. We were given a very young grey squirrel by a neighbour and kept him indoors feeding him with an ear dropper every two hours. I never did the night shift. He was brilliant and a lot of fun but then once his "nuts dropped" he would resist going back in his cage in a bitey way. The kestrel died, conveniently, so the aviary was converted to squirrel's drey. He lived to 8 years old which is a lot longer than in the wild.
