21.01.2022 This is Bolus, the Noisy Friarbird who ran (flew) away from his carer in Gympie yesterday. He flew to a nearby property where the Noisy minor birds were determined to shoo him away so he sought protection from the friendly resident human, who contacted ANARRA for advice. A photo and text message later to another ANARRA member and Bolus was quickly identified and returned to his carer, where he is waiting to join more Noisy friarbirds before being (properly) released!

15.01.2022 ANARRA is incredibly grateful to 11 year old Flynn Hutchinson, for his donation of $344 to our Public Fund. Flynn collects cans and bottles for recycling, and also washes cars and mows lawns to raise money, which he donates to non-profit groups in Gympie including ANARRA and Little Haven. What a wonderful young man. His mum Wendy must be so proud of him! Thank you Flynn for your kindness and generosity!

14.01.2022 This is Elvis! He came into care as a very small chick and has been raised by our wonderful carer Jan, who feeds him twice a day, morning and night. He will soon be released and given a chance to use those magnificent wings to live his best life. Good luck Elvis

13.01.2022 This season has been a busy one and we are glad it is finally slowing down a little, as breeding time tapers off. Our team has responded to 70 koalas in the wi...der Noosa region since the 1st July. No mean feat! Our team would be lost without the valuable contribution of those members we affectionately call our 'zoomies'. These special people often head out to cases where we wish to do a visual health check on a koala. They provide us with valuable high resolution close-up images that help us decide whether or not a koala needs to be brought into care to be tested and to potentially undertake treatment for disease, most often the nasty chlamydia. The earlier we can get chlamydia cases into care, the better chances they have of being successfully treated. If you sight a koala, let us know about it and we can undertake a visual health check via our Zoomie superstars. Alternately if you have the ability, feel free to send through to us any close-up pictures you may be able to get. Any koala with red, weepy or gunky eyes, or with a stained or wet looking rump (even only slightly) needs to be reported through, so that we can check and respond accordingly.

12.01.2022 This little mumma antechinus didn't stand a chance against a cat attack. Not eaten - just attacked and killed with 10 tiny babies on board. A reminder to please keep your cat inside, particularly at night.

12.01.2022 Here's a species we haven't had in care before! Rose-crowned fruit dove, found under a verandah, possibly a window strike. As soon as it's nursed back to health it will be going back to it's parents for a re-unite. Beautiful little bird!

11.01.2022 What a wonderful outcome!

10.01.2022 This is Lambchop. She was very lucky that Joe and Dawn came across her while walking their dog early Friday evening. At the time Lambchop was being severely be...aten by a big male swan who wasn’t going to give up until he’d killed her. Swans might look serene and placid but they regularly engage in battles over territory, mating rights and food. Sound like any other species you know?? She’d probably strayed into the male’s territory where he and his partner have young cygnets. That’s a dangerous thing for a smaller bird to do. Luckily, swans rarely get killed in their battles, but this was different. It was getting dark. Joe courageously clambered through tall (red-bellied black snake filled) grass to intervene and keep the attacker at bay until I got there. I quickly scrambled down the bank and dragged a sodden, lifeless Lambchop out of the lake by the scruff of her neck. She was alive, but barely and was in shock. Heat was the first thing needed, so I took her home then used a hair drier on her for 40 minutes. Warm at last she was given a bowl of water filled with shredded lettuce and corn before being put to bed in a dry, quiet spot. She’d perked up a little but was not yet interested in food. Next morning, Lambchop was looking much better and managed a few mouthfuls, but was still sore and barely able to stand. Hopefully a few days of R and R will do the trick, then she can go back to the lake this time somewhere far away from her nemesis.

10.01.2022 Did you know that Flying Fox mums carry their babies with them until they are about four weeks of age? Baby latches onto the teat which is just under her armpit... and baby's feet grabs her belly fur. Once baby is too big for mum to fly with they are left in a nursery tree at night and then collected in the morning to be groomed and fed. Such an amazing creature! See more

10.01.2022 A great reminder to put water out for wildlife in these very hot and humid conditions
