An animal rescue charity entertained shoppers with its collection of birds of prey.

Volunteers from Midlands Birds of Prey Rescue swooped by Dudley Street in Wolverhampton city centre.

Staff members brought along Princess the European eagle owl and Smiler the Arctic snowy owl, which were placed of the arms of brave passers-by.

Charity spokesman Ryan Rawlings said: “We have been fairly busy over the last year, attending 12 shows, fetes and carnivals.”

The charity has helped rehome scores of birds. Anyone who spots a bird of prey in distress can call 01384 411988 or 01980 288452.
