As I officially sign off from this year's wildlife journey, I can't help but reflect on what an incredible and massive year it has been!
I’m proud to share that, with the help of some amazing carers, I have rescued and rehabilitated thousands of animals. One of the most challenging moments came during the worst LPS season to date in February. Thanks to the support of our community, we managed to rescue over 1,000 lorikeets during that difficult time.
Throughout this journey, I've had the immense privilege of meeting so many wonderful people and forming friendships and collaborations with dedicated carers, vets and businesses.
I want to give a special shoutout to Gillian The Naked Vet , whose expert guidance, equipment, and assistance with essential medications and supplies have been invaluable. Your friendship has made this journey even more rewarding.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the amazing carers I've had the opportunity to work alongside, as well as to everyone who has donated, volunteered, spread the word, and offered their support. What an amazing community we have built together!
As the year comes to a close, I want to acknowledge that I am still receiving many phone calls and messages daily. While I would love to help each and every one of you, at this time, it’s simply impossible.
Please note: I am not having a break, i still will be caring for the overwhelming number of animals currently in my care. I will not be reachable via the page until January 1st. But don’t worry! Before you know it, the new year will be upon us, and you’ll start seeing me everywhere again.
Thank you all for being a part of this journey. Here’s to an even more impactful year ahead! 🦜💚
Why put up a traditional Christmas tree when you can create a vibrant bird tree filled with colorful parrots instead? 🎄🦜
To me, the love and joy they bring far outweigh traditional decorations. Here’s to a festive season filled with color, laughter, and the delightful chatter of our avian companions! 🦜💚✨
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated today! Your generosity will make such a significant difference to all the animals in our care.
We’ve recently received several cases that require complex, long-term care due to injuries. Unfortunately, some of these animals have been brought in by well-meaning members of the public who kept them for days or weeks, feeding them the wrong foods and failing to address their injuries. This has caused them significant and unnecessary suffering.
Your support helps us provide the necessary medical attention and care these animals desperately need. Thank you for standing with us and making a positive impact on their lives!
A Heart Shattered: Remembering My Beloved Bird, Ghost
Today, my heart feels as though it has shattered into a thousand pieces as I mourn the very unexpected loss of my dear bird, Ghost. He was not just a pet; he was my best friend, my cherished companion, and a source of endless joy in my life. From the moment we met, he filled my days with laughter and love, greeting me with his cheerful song every morning and bidding me goodnight with his gentle chirps.
Ghost was a bundle of quirks and personality. We would spend countless hours together, dancing to our favorite tunes, his little body swaying in rhythm as if he understood the music’s magic. His playful antics brought light into my life, turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.
As someone deeply immersed in wildlife rescue, I have encountered loss more times than I can count. While I strive to remain strong for the animals I care for, nothing can truly prepare you for the heartache that comes with losing something so precious. Ghost was a part of my soul, and his absence leaves a void that feels insurmountable.
Today, I honor his memory and the joy he brought into my life. I will cherish the moments we shared and hold onto the lessons he taught me about love, companionship, and the beauty of life itself. Thank you, Ghost, for being my first hello in the morning and my last goodnight at night. You are a equivalent of my child and were suppost to be my forever. I dont know how to face tomorrow without you. You will always hold a special place in my heart. 🕊️💔

All these baby swallows came into my care with their eyes still shut. After just five days, they've transformed remarkably. It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness their growth.
As October comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the challenges of the past month. It wasn’t the easiest of times; October really tested my limitations, and I must admit, I fell flat on my face a few times. But isn’t that just part of the journey? I’m hopeful that I can leave this bad luck streak behind me and embrace a kinder November ahead.
November brings with it a fresh start, and for me, it also marks the official beginning of LPS season for the lorikeets 😓. Please keep your eyes peeled. Here’s to new beginnings, brighter skies, and hopefully a bit more luck on my side. Cheers to November! 🌼✨
Someone has asked me why I create these silly videos. While I don't feel the need to justify myself, it did prompt some reflection. The answer is quite straightforward:
In a world increasingly disconnected from nature, I find purpose in sharing videos and stories about wildlife. My mission is simple yet profound: to inspire others and spread awareness about the beauty and importance of our natural world.
Wildlife has an incredible way of connecting us to the earth. Through my videos, I aim to showcase the breathtaking beauty of animals. I believe that when people witness these moments, they often feel a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around them.
In a time when nature often takes a backseat to technology and urban life, I choose to be a voice for wildlife. Through my videos and stories, I hope to inspire a deep-seated love and respect for the natural world. Together, we can make a difference, spread awareness, and nurture a passion for wildlife that transcends generations.
I hope, with my words, photos and videos you can feel and witness my passion and that it inspires you. My wish is for my enthusiasm to be so contagious it spreads like wildfire and affects you all 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Peace, love and light ✌️💛✨️
For those who need to hear this today 🌻
In a world that often pushes us to strive for perfection, it's easy to feel like we're not enough. But what if we paused for a moment to appreciate who we truly are? Each of us is a unique tapestry of experiences, emotions, and quirks that make us beautifully human.
Finding beauty in the chaos of life starts with self-acceptance. Embrace your imperfections, your mistakes, and your journey. They are all part of what makes you, *you*. When we stop comparing ourselves to others and recognize our own worth, we unlock a sense of peace and fulfillment.
Life can be hectic, and it's easy to get swept away in the demands and distractions around us. However, if we take a moment to breathe, reflect, and appreciate ourselves, we can discover the beauty hidden in the chaos. Whether it's celebrating small victories, acknowledging our strengths, or simply being kind to ourselves, these moments of self-appreciation can transform our perspective.
Remember, you are enough just as you are. Your existence adds value to the world, and your story is worth telling. So, let’s embrace the chaos, find joy in the messiness of life, and celebrate our authentic selves. Together, we can create a space where everyone feels valued and appreciated for who they truly are. 💖✨
✨ Happy Sunday, everyone! ✨
As the weekend wraps up, let's take a moment to appreciate the little things that bring us joy. Whether it's sipping your favorite coffee, spending time with loved ones, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in nature, today is a perfect day to recharge and reflect.
Let’s embrace the positivity and make the most of this beautiful day! What are your plans for today? 🌼😊
