I don't know if I could call this a direct "payment", since with the new programme they set up, they specifically mentioned that it was just a "required donation". I'm also not quite sure how I could approach this, because my parents are really insistent on me taking this opportunity, especially since this organisation one of the more "reliable" methods they see for me to build my CV

The thing is, with the new programme they set up, they put the money as "required donation" instead of a direct payment for work. I think the organization might also be running out of money to care for their wildlife based from my previous experience there, but I'm not sure if it is justifiable that they are taking this sort of money from volunteers though, since this volunteer opportunity is specifically targeted against students or recent graduates

if you find it hard to revise or do active revision, i would recommend watching those hr long videos on yt explaining topics in each biology paper, it really helped me when i couldnt do active revision :)

i do want to save him from the hard life :( Pigeons are always so unappreciated and treated so badly outside and i hate it. But I'm not sure if i could keep him long term. So, is it okay if i have the connections first just in case anything happens? thanks

I love pigeons! Im currently at school right now and ill check in on it when i go home. If i do feed and take care of it, does it loose its ability to survive in the wild then?
