Last week a large goldfish was rescued from a hungry seagull.
The goldfish was rescued near Gibauderie and is doing well at the GSPCA despite his injuries.
Yvonne Chauvel, Senior Animal Care Assistant, said: "We are asked to help all types of animals, but it is rare that we are asked to help a goldfish that has been left in a bucket and is being attacked by a seagull .”
"We have named him Captain Birdseye and despite his injuries he is doing well and if we don't find his owners within the next 3 weeks we will be looking for a home for him."
Steve Byrne, manager of the GSPCA said: "Captain Birdseye is a very lucky goldfish."
"If it wasn't so big, they probably would have eaten it."
"It's amazing how many animals we at the GSPCA rescue and help and we will soon be celebrating 150 years of animal welfare in Guernsey and helping us celebrate GSPCA Purple Month in February and all of the ways you are helping us know how to celebrate over the years . .https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/are-you-supporting-gspca-next-year-when-we-celebrate-our-150th-year-here-are-few-way-you-could.“

Steve continued, "There are many ways you can support our vital 24/7 work and donate or fundraise for the hundreds of animals in our care."
"With over 100 hedgehogs, 5 baby seals, dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, fish, reptiles and many birds, we help over 3,000 animals to pass through the gates every year."
"If you support our Amazon Wishlist and would like to see lists of items we use every day and things we demand."
"If you need help with wish list items please call 01481 25721 or email[email protected]or the easiest way to see many items we need is to go to our Amazon Wishlisthttps://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/25MJPPDAGXHL1?type=WishList.“
“We encourage purchasing items locally, but shopping online can help raise funds, while if you select the GSPCA through a simple fundraiser, a portion of the money goes back to the GSPCA from thousands of online retailers and over 2,500 brings in £.
“To sign up for this, visithttp://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/guernseyspca/?u=1CHID8.“
"Unfortunately, Amazon Smile does not allow Guernsey charities to apply, but you can complete a simple fundraiser to receive the same donation."
"As mentioned, you can always donate through local stores and the Amazon Wishlist is a showcase showing some of the items we need, but there are many more and we post them on our Wishlist page." .http://www.gspca.org.gg/about/our-plans-wish-list.“
"A gift from a small bowl costing less than £1 to a £600 intensive care unit, any donation is greatly appreciated and really puts a smile on the face of the team that there are people who care about our work and want to support them.”
“Another amazing way to support our work is as little as a few pounds a month, which can make a huge difference in helping the animals in our care. For more information, seehttp://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf.“
