Mickey the cockatoo has been saved!!!

After the outcry of support for Mickey Cole’s had no choice but to find help for him..

A massive thank you to Ravi from Feathered Friends for going out and trapping Mickey and safely getting him out.

MICKEY THE COCKATOO HAS BEEN SAFELY CAUGHT!

Ravi from Feathered Friends was able to safely capture him at 450pm! Amazing work mate 👏🏽👏🏽

What a relief and a huge thank you to not only all the other wildlife volunteers such as Sydney Wildlife (Sydney Metropolitan Wildlife Services) and Wild Conservation (and any others that were there when I wasn’t) but also to the Coles Staff and the Macarthur Square staff, you have done a great job in a stressful situation.

The power of social media at work again.

Myself or Council had no involvement in this, I’m just purely here to inform the community of what’s been happening.

I happened to be here with Ravi at the exact moment!

Well done to all 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Please read and be vigilant, if you notice a cockatoo that is acting unwell do not pick it up. Either contact wires or Sydney wildlife and report all findings to the EPA, if you must secure the cockatoo it is advisable to place a plastic washing basket over them and wait for help.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is seeking assistance from the community following a concerning trend of Sulphur-crested cockatoo poisonings within the Sutherland Shire. Over the preceding three weeks, a minimum of 22 Sulphur-crested cockatoos have been discovered either in a state of illness or deceased by various members of the public across several localities, including Gymea, Gymea Bay, Miranda, and Grays Point.

Julian Thompson, the Director of Operations at the NSW EPA, has confirmed that toxicological analysis of the affected birds has revealed poisoning. The findings indicate elevated levels of methomyl in their systems. Methomyl is an insecticide predominantly utilized in agricultural settings for crop protection, known to be toxic to avian species.

Thompson emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, "The deliberate or negligent misuse of pesticides, leading to the death of birds, constitutes a severe offense. Our efforts are focused on identifying the source of this contamination."

Concerns have been raised regarding the distress exhibited by the affected birds post-poisoning. Methomyl is not approved for use in domestic gardens, prompting speculation regarding the intent behind its application. Thompson noted, "The use of pesticides to harm or kill non-target species, such as native birds, is prohibited under the Pesticides Act."

The EPA is urging the public to come forward with any pertinent information by contacting our 24/7 Environment Line at 131 555 or via email at [email protected].

Given the presence of methomyl, it is advised against public interaction with the affected birds. If possible, individuals are encouraged to safely contain the bird by placing an inverted washing basket over it for its protection until assistance can be provided.

The EPA is collaborating closely with WIRES, Sutherland Shire Council, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and Taronga Zoo in the investigation. Each entity plays a crucial role in safeguarding wildlife from such threats.

Please everyone think of our beautiful wildlife this Halloween

With the night of halloween spooks and treats upon us please remember your native birds and wildlife. Fake cobwebs are a great decoration however they can be deadly to birds and wildlife life, the fibres are thick and birds, bees, butterflies and other small wildlife can easily get caught in them resulting in serious injuries or death. Please use them with caution or if possible not at all
