This is a little page I am creating to show my journey that has just begun with Wildlife Victoria.

Yesterday I got the opportunity to help transport 12 beautiful little ringtails from one side of Victoria to another through Wildlife Victoria. These little guys are hopefully going to settle in well and help bring numbers back up near the Murray. Good luck little possums be thinking of you

Please when an animal is hurt please please call Wildlife Victoria or Wildlife Warriors. Had a female wombat hit in the middle of the road so went looking for her baby. Found her baby near her den after climbing through thick weeds and unfortunately wasn't quick enough looked like it had been attacked by a fox. If someone had made that call earlier chances of success could have been better. Can not stress enough about making those simple phone calls so one of us can head out and try to help

Always so heartbreaking when you have to pull wildlife off the road but just hits a little harder when it ends up being a cat and the thought it could be someone's beloved pet. This job had a lot of ups and downs today was definitely a downer. Please be safe on our roads

PLEASE DON’T FEED WILD BIRDS
It is difficult to ensure they are receiving the correct nutrients and it can have seriously detrimental affects to their health. You also do not want them to become dependent on humans for food (what happens if you go on holidays or move away). In some species communal feeding grounds also creates a space for deadly viruses to spread among flocks.

I had a magpie visit me today in the yard. It is clearly used to someone feeding it and it is showing signs of serious nutrient deficiencies and even what looks to be the beginnings of beak rot. So please if you insist on feeding them (which you shouldn’t) at least make sure they are being given all the necessary nutrients (not just plain mince).

Today I came across a Kangaroo left in the middle of the road to pull it off the road and find a joey had passed away inside. I can not stress this enough please please please check wildlife as more often then not there is usually a second life there.

Thanks to Dave's help even though we didn't have a win.
We were leaving Strathbogie cemetery after my Nanas funeral and came across this mumma that had been hit, checking the pouch we discovered a little baby boy.
I can not stress enough how important it is to check wildlife as instead of 2 lives lost it may have been a possibility of only one if this little guy had been handed to a wildlife carer for a fighting chance.
Please if you hit an animal please check the animal then for babies as every life matters.
If you see an injured animal please call Wildlife Victoria on 0384007300 and one of us will be out to the location ASAP

Rescued this little guy off the middle of the road after people kept putting their cars over him as he was struggling to get his footing. Was worried he may have broken a leg so home he came. The first 24 hours of a rescue are extremely important. Good news is this little fellow has made it through the night and sitting on a perch

15/11/2022

Rescued two turtles in three days with Dave's help.
The floodwater is bringing so many animals out in the open for possible injury or even death.
These little ones were on a main road risking their lives.
Thankfully one of these turtles was uninjured. The other has an injured shell that is now in the hands of Donna who will hopefully be able to fibreglass the shell and be released back into the wild.
Please please be cautious on roads

Happy Halloween everyone. I hope everyone enjoys themselves please be careful of animals around

With the help of Terri, Jason and Dave last night we tried to rescue this cockatoo after being hit. After the fight it gave to try and help it unfortunately it passed away over night. This bird at least got to go in peace. RIP you crazy bird good luck in the afterlife

With the floods going on I would like everyone to be cautious. Would love it if everyone could be cautious of animals all the time but at the moment a lot of animals have lost their homes due to the floods and are a little lost please be patient
