The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) work in this field over many years has shown that for a successful operation in oiled bird cleaning and rehabilitation there are a number of elements which are needed. To ensure a high success rate of recovered birds, it is essential to either get the birds to a centre with trained staff or to provide equipment and training for "first aiders" in strategic sites around the coast. Permanent and temporary cleaning centres have the same needs to undertake the work successfully and to achieve good results; the provision and disposal of water are important considerations. The reason for undertaking this work is to return birds to their natural environment so that they may have a second chance of living their lives to the fullest and adding to the rich chain of wildlife. Release must be undertaken with as much care as the other areas of work. Good preparation and follow-up in the release is an assurance that the operation is not a waste of precious time and is of benefit to the individual animal involved
