Recent rains have meant an influx of ducklings who's nests have been swept away in rising floodwaters.
We now have 11 little ducklings in care and yesterday they experienced their first real full day outdoors since arriving.
As they grow we are able to expand the shelter range of food and water on offer...and they are loving the little jungle of what once was our vegie patch.


Here's some pics:

Hi Everyone

Well..its been ages..absolutely ages since I last updated this blog!
Since the last time I wrote here I have housed and rehabbed and released a total of 27 possums! Along with several clans of ducks and a few seagulls and even a few Ringtails...life has been very busy!
Even though this years orphan season wasnt as bad as last year it was still quite full on and now they are all growing up and outside Ive finally got time to sleep rest and write. In amongst it all I've been flat cha...

Busy few months and all the houseguests have now been unceromoniously plopped on the scales for the first of this cycles weigh in's. Good news is everyone has gained good weight and even Angel is now 500grams! I cant believe he is almost halfway to release weight already!

We have a few houseguests in atm, there's Mr Jucyfruit and Violet, both brushies who came in on the 15th for some rehab prior to release, after being loving hand raised by my local Shelter mum Dawn of Wildlife of Werribee ( W...

Seems I blinked and missed Jan and Feb and time has been flying by. We've been very busy prepping for a few exhibitions with my paintings...sorting out headstuff and welcoming new arrivals..its been a rush but I am finally happy to say weve all made it through in one peace..oops..peice.

Some updates:
- The twins are doing fabulously...Molly has booted Pete out of their shared space so she can find a mate, and he has been an occasional night visitor as he lamen...

Wooosh!
Where did that year go?!
:)

Well folks Christmas time is upon us again and along with many people, Ive been evaluating the year gone by and sorting and organising things for 2010. Part of that has been readying things here for the expected heat and fire seasons which I am not totally convinced will be extreme here this year, but want to be prepared for anyway and partly I'm also rearranging my own priorities and making decisions about where I want to focus my energies in the coming year...

Busy busy busy! :) It's been a very full month with lots of animal guests.

I'd just like to take the time while I have some, to say thank you to members of the public who are some providing extraordinary insight and care to these animals prior to rescue. I'd like to say thank you, for thinking before acting, thank you for caring and for ringing and for doing the right things..not just in calling us, but in your care of the little guys.
Things like wrapping them warmly, keeping them in dark war...

Beautiful Boo the Boobook owl was released tonight in a special location.
I have many mixed feelings...I am happy this little trooper has recovered so well and that he is free and gone..I'm worried about his survival given how much human contact he has had recently....and sad too..that the experience of him is over..its something I go through a lot caring for little ones..but somehow Boo made an impact all of his own.
Will miss you Boo...i hope the owl angels find you lots of squiggly rodents t...

Hi Folks..meet Gigi the wandering possy from Gundagai:)
Gigi's mum was hit by a truck on the highway up north, and thankfully he stopped! ( yay) and found Gigi close by. He dropped her off here and she came into care a few days ago. Being from NSW I didnt think there would be that much difference but there is...she is already fully pelted and that pelt is very light compared to our local bushy brushy's who seem to have layers to cope with the cold here. She is also much lighter than our guys.....
