Not just applicable to magpies, but most bird species...it is always best to follow this advice before 'rescuing' any young birds. 🪶🐦

The Problem A common problem during Spring in Australia is that people find baby magpies that appear to have fallen out of the nest and been abandoned by their parents.

Hi all, been a bit quiet on the social media front while navigating through some personal stuff & with the business on pause... however I just wanted to put out a friendly reminder that with this beautiful sunny weather our scaly wildlife are on the move. Please be mindful of any out sunny themselves on the roads when out driving. Also keep yourself & pets safe from snakes by tidying up around the yard, stay away/out of long grass & be mindful near bodies of water.

Hi all, readvertising this sweet lady...

Elsie is an affectionate senior cat (~10+yrs, desexed). Ideally suited to a 'farm cat' lifestyle; she has spent her entire life as an outside cat so is most comfortable there however would benefit from the secure safety of an outdoor cat enclosure. In correspondence to this lifestyle she has struggled with the concept of using a litter tray, however has recently picked it up with the occasional accident (in particular when stressed). While she will tolerate other quiet cats, she would be much more comfortable as an only cat/housed separately.
No adoption fee is being asked, just a loving home for her to live out her days-only the best will be considered as she deserves nothing less! If you think you could offer this beautiful girl a fur-ever home & to discuss further please pm me 🐾

ATTENTION
It is with a heavy heart I inform the community that my services will NOT be returning to the St Arnaud region. This is a result of a selection of individuals who have & continue to cause problems & threaten the safety of my family. I sincerely apologise to all my wonderful supportive clients (human & furbaby) who have been nothing but a pleasure to provide such a service to over the past 7+ years. In addition, I am no longer affiliated with the St Arnaud veterinary clinic (**my own personal choice at no fault of the business**) as a result of having to distance myself from the town to ensure the welfare of my family & furbabies.

Life of a toddler's cat... how laid back he is with Mason's sometimes unconventional or slightly rough acts of love is one of the main reasons that lead to his foster fail.

**No cat was harmed during this process & stickers were carefully removed immediately after taking this picture**

Please stay safe & keep up-to-date with regards to the current fires! A reminder that while you may not be at direct risk of the fire, the smoke can be just as dangerous to your own & pets health. In addition if you are in a position to help those at direct risk without putting yourself in danger their are many desperately seeking assistance with evacuating animals.

With my last pre promised job coming to an end in a few days-as mentioned in a previous post-I just wanted to remind everyone that all services are now closed until further notice. While I am optimistic that this is only temporary, I currently can not provide a timeframe. I deeply apologise for any inconvenience caused. I can say that once I return there will be a few changes & things will most likely run a little differently. Please be patient while I tame 2024... 😅 Thank you for your continued support & understanding.
