Birds are suffering. Birds are dying. And it could have been prevented.
Right now, birds are trapped inside bird netting across the UK, unable to escape, slowly starving, left to die. This isn’t a side effect. It’s the result of a practice that is inhumane, indiscriminate, and ineffective.
The Problem With Bird Netting
Bird netting is sold as a deterrent to birds nesting in places people don’t want them. In reality it is a trap. Birds fly in and can’t get out. They die of exhaustion, starvation, or injury. Their bodies are left to rot, sometimes for weeks, in full public view. Pigeons are most commonly affected, but netting doesn’t discriminate. Any bird can become a victim.
It doesn’t keep birds out. It locks them in.

8 Locations. 8 Chances to Make a Difference.
We’ve identified eight sites where harmful netting is actively trapping birds right now. We contacted every one of these businesses and asked them to remove it. They refused, or didn’t reply at all.

A New Tool: One Email, Eight Recipients
We know petition fatigue is real. That’s why we built something different.
Our new tool lets you send a single email that reaches all eight businesses at once, with multiple recipients BCC’d automatically. You don’t fill out eight forms. You don’t sign eight petitions. You act once, and all eight hear from you.
One click. One message. Eight chances to save lives.
Sign our petition today. Tell these businesses to take the netting down, contact Humane Wildlife Solutions, and choose compassion over convenience, before more lives are lost.
These birds have no voice. You do. Please use it.

What Else You Can Do
🔴 See a bird trapped in netting, alive? You must report it immediately to your local wildlife rescue, the RSCPA, the site owner, and the police. We are not able to physically remove netting ourselves, only the businesses can do that, but a rescue team may be able to intervene before it’s too late.
⚫ See a dead bird in netting? Report it to us at End Bird Netting. Every report builds the case for action and helps us identify new sites.
📢 Keep sharing this. These businesses are counting on no one noticing. Prove them wrong.

This gull was finally rescued after spending 42 hours trapped in netting at Notre Dame School in Liverpool. The netting should never have been there in the first place and it’s time it was removed.
Help fund this project and the fight for British wildlife!
