25.01.2022 From 26g to 80g and 57g to 120g, these babies are growing up fast #Boobook #owl

24.01.2022 Under weight, another little one in poor shape. In the ICU with lots of small feeds . Australian boobook

23.01.2022 A great initiative that was about 10 years ago, with these signs at very targeted locations, where Eagles had been hit on country roads. A small piece in the ji...gsaw puzzle of helping them survive but one that I thought personally was worthwhile and it certainly promoted awareness with drivers. I actually don't know why they were ever removed. Does anyone in Tasmania know if these are still about on any backroads?? See more

22.01.2022 Sharing the important message again. We have received so many birds this year for care that could have been saved from their injuries IF ONLY the finders did no...t drip water into their open mouth, especially when it comes to baby birds. Take a look at this photo, do you see the hole right behind the bird's tongue? That is called the Glottis. It's the entrance of the birds trachea/airway and it leads directly to his lungs. Birds' anatomy are different than mammals. If you drip water into a bird's gaping (open) mouth - like when you find a baby bird and they open their mouths- you can kill it. The water goes down their airway and into their lungs. Birds can't cough to expel the water so it gives them a deadly bacterial infection and they can't get enough oxygen with each breath they take, and die slowly. The aspiration in many cases are fatal. We see birds with minor injuries that end up dying because the finders meant well by dripping water into their open mouths. An uninformed act of kindness that kills them. When you find a bird you have to reach out to a licensed rehabilitator/facility right away. It's not only the law but it's the best thing to do to help the bird. Wild bird rehab takes permitting and special training & knowledge. If it's an adult bird that is awake/alert and standing up, walking around and can support its own body weight, you can offer a shallow pan of water. Leave the bird alone and if it's thirsty it may drink the water on its own. Their Glottis closes when they swallow to drink water on their own. When a found bird opens it's mouth it is usually an automotive response or a fear response, and you will do more damage than good by dripping water into the mouth. Licensed and trained rehabilitators hydrate dehydrated birds subcutaneously (under the skin) and/or by inserting a thin tube down their Esophageal tract way past the glottis into their crop or sometimes even further into their stomach to deposit a small amount of proper hydration fluids frequently. Dehydrated birds are not hydrated by pouring water into their mouths. Please remember this very important rule when you find an injured or orphaned bird.

15.01.2022 TWO WEEKS TO GO Samford VIRTUAL Fun Run 12/13 September Now is the time to organise YOUR run, jog or walk with your friends or family! (5 or 10km).... Remember to let us know you have done it any way you like (post a photo, write a comment, share your Strava results etc)and we’d love to share the fun on here We are amazed and excited to report that donations are already flooding in - over $1500 already!! So many generous contributions.. One for example from the Powerful Owl Book Club. So kind of them to forego their planned lunch, and instead donate the money to Life for Wildlife. Over $400! Remember this year our new beneficiaries are Life for Wildlife a new local charity which has been in the making for the last six months (just one more box to tick with the ATO and we are there! These things take tiiime ). It is being formed because we wanted to ease the financial burden for our registered carers, who cannot legally accept any donations when caring for our regions injured and orphaned wildlife. There are huge costs involved in rearing one animal to the stage of release and they receive no government funding. They pay all food, medications and transport costs themselves, including the regular drop offs and pickups to Australia Zoo and RSPCA - quite often several times a week! We would love to help our Moreton Bay region’s unsung heroes perform their important work. This will allow our registered careers to be supplied with items they need and essential items in bulk, to make their job a little easier. Please like and share our Life for Wildlife page And make your difference, in any way you can.. it all helps!

15.01.2022 Thank you to Matt and Jas for rescuing this Masked Owl. A few issues, some damage to one eye and is a little wobbly. Possible head trauma. Will observe her and if needed take her to Australia Zoo Hospital for a check up.

14.01.2022 This little Collared Sparrowhawk owes his life to a lovely lady in Coochiemudlo, she picked bub up and got him to Redland Vets. Samford Vet is next on the list to thank, pain meds, antibiotics and eye cream. Someone is much brighter this morning ... Huge thank you to all involved

09.01.2022 One week in and this beautiful baby is gaining weight. From 2.2kg to 2.6kg, not at the ideal body condition yet but going in the right direction.

07.01.2022 Sorry to say that this story is not a fairytale with a happy ending. This is one of those stories that make up so many of our days, a call to save a life, a long drive to what you hope will have a great outcome. I mean someone cared enough to notice a young life hanging in the balance, trapped on the ground with flames all around. Sadly though this beautiful baby was euthanised. With a broken leg and spinal injuries the only happy ending is ending the suffering and what could have been a long painful death. R.I.P juvenile Wedge-tail Eagle

06.01.2022 Time to fly #peewee

05.01.2022 Just hatched this morning, Pacific Black Duck

05.01.2022 Look how much I have grown!

04.01.2022 Did you know that over a quarter of Australia's butterflies use native grasses as their host-plants and at least 26 species use 'Tussock Grasses'. Tussock Gra...sses (Poa species) are a large group of native 'clumping' grasses that come in different sizes and shades of green. Some species support only a single butterfly whilst others are used by many. Two of the most used are 'Slender Tussock Grass' and 'Large Tussock Grass'. Few native grasslands remain and even these are hanging-on in remnant patches. Can you help bring them back? They make great additions to gardens, verges, habitat corridors, parklands, regeneration projects... More about Slender Tussock-Grass here: http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl More about Large Tussock-Grass here: https://www.anbg.gov.au/.../train.../poa-labillardierei.html

03.01.2022 Most often it takes a tribe to save a life. This young barn owl has had so much help, from My Bush Babies, Kirsty's Wildlife Rehabilitation and Cesar. Under weight , not quite ready to be out in the world, this young owl will be putting on weight before being soft released until he/she learns how to hunt.

03.01.2022 Young Osprey, this is a Bribie island bub. Mild pneumonia. This beautiful bub should make a full recovery and be returned to fish along the shores of Bribie Island

02.01.2022 On the 14th of August a hiker called in a rescue, a bird was along a walking track, head down, cant fly not looking very well. A 5 hour search took place to l...ocate a young White-bellied Sea Eagle. Skinny, cold and alone. This beautiful baby would not have been able to survive much longer. Look at her today, healthy and curious, she will make a full recovery. Weighing only 2.2kg at the time of her rescue, she is well over 3kg now.

02.01.2022 Settled in for the night, fed and meds done. #osprey
