Gary took her back to the wildlife centre at the farm where he expertly looked after the bird, hand-feeding her back to health with the help of his family. His daughters named her Maggie.
Gary said: "Maggie is now doing great and proving to be a real character.
"Each evening she spends time with the family at their home where she causes a very welcome chaos."
Maggie enjoys stealing all manner of shiny objects from sweet wrappers to earrings- even if they are still on Gary's daughter Bethany's ears.
Visitors to the wildlife farm can meet Maggie at the Gwel an Mor resort.
