Been a hectic few days looking after these 6… can anyone guess what they are? 🐣

Awesome team effort today between rescuers and members of the public to escort a family of ducks to the water. The poor family had been spotted a few times in smythe st in dangerous situations (on the road, in swimming pools) unable to complete their journey to the lake safely, so we gave them an escort to safety. Mum, dad and 16 little ducklings are now very happy at the lake with the other wood duck families 💜
This time of year many duck families will be making the journey from their nesting spots to the waterways so please keep an eye out for them on the roads

Another successful release for this tawny frogmouth. This gorgeous girl was found on the side of the road very dazed. After a short stay in care she is now back home.
This beautiful barn owl came into care after being attacked by hawks. After some rest and recovery from her ordeal, she was successfully released 💜
This little one found themself in a very nasty situation yesterday when they became stranded in someone’s driveway. (Grebes are excellent swimmers but can’t move too well on land).
Some nasty crows took the opportunity to attack the little one but luckily the member of public was home, saw the attack happening and was able to rescue the young Australasian Grebe before the crows could cause any injury.
After a day of rest and a good feed, we were released today and are back in the water. Thanks again to the member of the public for saving this little one, it could have been a lot worse without their quick action.
Our black-faced cuckooshrike was released today 💜
This beautiful reunion came up as a memory for a year ago today (before I started a separate page for rescues) so wanted to share it here as well 💜
One of these is not like the others…
Wishing everyone a happy new year 💜
Here is a video of our ducklings in care enjoying their move into a bigger enclosure. They are growing so fast!
This weekend provided perfect weather for some enrichment for our duckling and their new little foster sibling 💜
(Please note they only spent a short time in the pond and were closely supervised for their safety)
