Thank you :)
Fantastic, great to have another Aussie rehabber on board. (There are surprisingly few of us here on Project Noah.) I think rehab pics are really important as often rescue and rehab gives us an opportunity to see/observe animals that we would hardly ever see otherwise. Sharing your rehab pics is also a great way to highlight the issues that our native wildlife face, and raise awareness of how everyone can help. (And, of course, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge the amazing work done by volunteers!) Enjoy the community, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your pics!
We mostly do birds, we're a registered with the Department of Environment and Conservation. We get about 50 birds come into our hospital a week. We're an orginization run completely on volunteers, we deal with birds mostly but we also work with Echidnas, Woylies and Quendas. We have a Bilby breeding program set up and we work with the occasional reptile. Personally I am a tube feeder for the birds that are unable to feed for themselves.
Awesome, what's your speciality? My husband is a rescuer/rehabber for reptiles and amphibians. We used to be in WIRES when we lived in Sydney, but now that we live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland he's on the list of registered carers for the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. So we don't get to do many rescues anymore, but we have a steady stream of snakes, turtles and lizards into care (and the occasional frog)!
Yes I am, I'm a wildlife rehabilitator in Perth, Western Australia.
Are you a rehabber Jamie?
