23.01.2022 Just would like to let everyone know when im out of hospital and home ill be making some changes to how people can put themself forward for adopting birds. It will no longer be the case u can just say "me me me" and message the person. We will be creating and adoption database with names and knowledge info so when adoptions come up we can match people up with forever homes. Hope everyone understands....it puts us at ease and the owners so we can insure we check people out a...nd verify there abilities before allowing them to adopt a bird. Thanks Team at TBSS P.s if anyone needs birds adopted please message admins before hand and we can verify people to ensure your bird is looked after to a high standard. We would hate for anything to happen to your babys once passed on if people arent honest or cant handle the animal once they have it. Birds welfare means all here at TBSS. Thankyou!

16.01.2022 Big Rescue tonight went to Old Railway Cafe to see a graveyard of fresh killed ibis and the baby was all alone and still alive! Janine Moore (another awsome wildlife warrior joined me after i cleared up all the carcuses. We walked several blocks looking for suspicious people poisons or anything else that could have led to there death. All 3 were warm on arrival indicating just died or been freshly killed. Once our rounds were done we found the baby ibis again all alone and i...ts family was slaughtered. We spent 1 hr trying to catch it as it wasnt safe in the precinct. The bird dove into bushes and even swam out into the river. Im so sore now with stone bruised cuts from sharp rocks. i snaped half a tree going in. He jump on a branch and went all the way out over the river so i went in the river after him swimming in between branches pulled the whole tree down while in the water, grabed the ibis and doggie paddled out with him in 1 arm! Least we saved 1 before anything else happened to him also! #wildlifewarriorsRULE!!! See more

11.01.2022 Sorry to waste everyone time on the previous post about the Blue fronted amazon. It came to our attention the bloke selling for selling based on the price of a gumtree ad thats been up for over a year and a totally diffrent mutation of amazon....golden crowned....not blue front. Upon being told hes charging way too much hes decided he knows everything and decided to keep the bird becuase he cant over charge people. Sorry if weve waisted anyones time. We help everyone find o...wners and homes but please DO NOT try and makes fools of us by trying to con people into paying double for a commen bird! Thankyou everyone.

08.01.2022 Bubba IBIS we saved last night! Please remember these are still a protected native species and we have no right to harm them. He is doing well today! EDUCATION INFORMATION... DESCRIPTION- The Australian white ibis is a fairly large ibis species, around 6575 cm (2630 in) long and has a bald black head and neck and a long black downcurved beak, measuring over 16.7 cm (6.6 in) in the male, and under in the female. There is some sexual dimorphism in size, as the slightly heavier male weighs 1.72.5 kg (3.75.5 lb) compared to the 1.41.9 kg (3.14.2 lb) female.As a comparison, the American white ibis generally attains 1 kg (2.2 lb) in weight. The body plumage is white although it may become brown-stained. Inner secondary plumes are displayed as lacy black "tail" feathers. The upper tail becomes yellow when the bird is breeding. The legs and feet are dark and red skin is visible on the underside of the wing. Immature birds have shorter bills. The head and neck are feathered in juveniles. The call is a long croak. The Australian white ibis reaches sexual maturity in three years, and can reach twenty-eight years of age. HISTORY -The Australian White IBIS (Threskiornis molucca) The Australian white ibis is widespread in eastern, northern and south-western Australia. It occurs in marshy wetlands, often near open grasslands and has become common in Australian east-coast city parks and rubbish dumps in the urban areas of Wollongong, Sydney, Perth, the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Townsville. Historically it was rare in urban areas; the first influx was noted after drought drove birds eastwards in the late 1970s. The urban population further increased after a further period of drought in 1998. The first big colony set up in the Sydney suburb of Bankstown and started to cause anxiety in the local community. It is estimated the colony was the largest outside the Macquarie Marshes, their natural breeding wetland in inland NSW. There has been debate in recent years over whether to consider them a pest or a possibly endangered species. Birds in tourist areas of Sydney, such as Darling Harbour, the Royal Botanic Gardens, and Centennial Park, have been a problem due to their strong smell. Populations in the latter two areas have been culled. The birds have also come to be regarded as a problem species in Victoria as a result of their scavenging activities, scattering rubbish from tips and bins in the process. They are even known to snatch sandwiches from picnickers. Such behaviour, together with their propensity to build nests in "inappropriate" places, and competition with captive animals, led to surplus birds being relocated from Healesville Sanctuary to Sale. However, the birds returned in a few days. The Macquarie Marshes in north-western New South Wales was one of the main areas for breeding, but none has been reported breeding there since 2000, from 11,000 pairs in 1998. The species is absent from Tasmania.

07.01.2022 VOTE HERE: {{https://mygivingcircle.org/?s=Townsville+bird}} *LINK TO VOTE IN COMMENTS! We humbly ask the public to spare a moment and vote for us to have a chance to win a grant through my giving circle. For all those whom seen and experienced the incredible work we carry out each and every day know it all comes at a cost and a toll. A grant would give us a great opportunity to advance further and get more much needed equipment for the many birds that attend our sanctuary. Thanks so very much.
