Geri Horner revealed to fans that she has saved an owl who appeared to have injured its wing on a telephone wire. 

The Spice Girls star, 47, shared a photo of herself holding the stunning animal that she had found and rescued. 

She told her followers: ‘I found this beautiful owl on the ground unable to fly – he’d hurt his Wing ( I think flown into a telephone wire ) – he’s now at the vet. Let’s hope he’s ok.’

Geri had made sure to get the bird treated by a veterinarian to help it get back on the mend soon. 

The animal lover shares several pets with her husband, Christian Horner, including horses which she keeps at her Oxfordshire home. 

She also shared photos of her dog, Hugo, as the family self-isolate amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

The public have been told to stay in their homes except for essential journeys in order to prevent the spread of the virus and to ease the strain on the NHS. 

Geri also wrote a hand-written thank-you message to the front line responders dealing with the pandemic, telling them: ‘Dear Nurses , Doctors & all staff at the NHS. 



What does self-isolation mean?

Self-isolation means staying indoors and avoiding all contact with other people for 14 days, according to the NHS.

It means no going to work, school, the shops or even to the park for some fresh air, in order to minimise the risk of passing on Covid-19.

Public transport and taxis are a no-no and you shouldn’t have visitors over, even if you just stay at home.

Anyone in self-isolation is advised to ask friends, family and delivery drivers to pick things up for you and drop them-off. You should put a sign outside telling people you are self-isolating and everything should be left on the floor outside your front door to avoid the risk of further infections.

Those who are self-isolating are still advised to stay away from their pets as much as possible and to wash their hands before and after touching them.

If you live in a house share and have to self-isolate, the advice is to stay in your room with the door closed and only emerge to use communal kitchens, bathrooms and living areas if absolutely necessary.

Who should self-isolate?

The government advises anyone returning from Category 1 areas (Hubei, Iran, Italy and Daegu or Cheongdo in South Korea), to go straight home and self-isolate, even if they don’t display any symptoms.

Travellers should use the 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next.

Anyone returning from Category 2 areas should self-isolate and call 111 if they have Covid-19 symptoms. You can find the list of those places here.
