25.01.2022 This is "Hotlips" from the fire zone at Two Rocks. She has been with us for a while now and almost finished her recovery. We are looking forward to the warmer months so she can be released with her friends back to their home.

25.01.2022 Update on Kangaroo in Woodvale we put back behind the fence. Checked yesterday and he is one very relieved big boy. Now back behind the fence.

25.01.2022 Pebbles the Red joey and Bob the bobtail taken 5 years ago. Thank you Tanya for sharing this great memory.

24.01.2022 What a complete load of bullocks. Where is the scientific evidence?How many relocations were monitored and recorded to come to this statement?How many different contractors were used during the trials? What were the different stress levels during the trials?What ages and health conditions were the animals during the trials? Were different drugs used during the trials to ascertain if the drugs make a difference? And the presenter talks about not getting the full picture before proceeding. Shame on them. It is bad enough that our vet students are now being taught that relocations of Kangaroos doesnt work without making such damaging statements on public media.

23.01.2022 It has been a busy year for our volunteers. Bushfires at the begining of the year meant we had to conduct searhes for injured wildlife and follow up with food and water stations ( which are ongoing).We also began an amazing journey with Alex Cearns of Houndstooth sudio fame and the crew of a short documentery titled Raising Joey. This will be shown on the !0th of December at the international Revelations Film Festival at the Luna Theatre.We worked hard to fundraise and... have so many people to thank for their support.As in our previous post along with other volunteers we have been meeting with The City of Swan in an effort to convince them of the many benefits of a Fauna Management Policy. We have also been invited to be on the Whiteman Park Community Reference Group for the Morley Ellenbrook line in an effort to lessen the impact that this line will have on the wildlife in Whiteman Park.All in all it has been an emotional journey for our volunteers. Non of the above could have been achieved without the support of the whole group. I would like to thank Fiona for her contribution to the many submissions and documents she has helped to put together Often it is an all night job to get these in on time. Tanya is in our feed and water station expert and has given so much time to filling up food and water stations weekly and maning the cameras at the stations These cameras have taught us so much during the last year and were bought with money donated by our generous supporters.Sherrie has spent many hours checking the roads in Brabham and at times has been emotionally drained as she pulled dead kangaroos off the road time and time again. Without her knowledge we would not be able to put the statistics together for the City Of Swan. Carole is the one person we have coffee with when we are totally stressed she is refreshing and is always there if we need to talk. Natalie has been busy this year with two grandchildren to help with but we know if we need help we only have to ask.Then we have our enduring little joeys that come into care from all over the state and who trust us to give them the love and care they need to grow into Kangaroos that will be released to hop free and do what Kangaroos do.. I would also like to thank you as our supporters we could not do this without you. Covid 19 may have made us pause just a little but our wildlife never noticed it. See more

23.01.2022 MEDIA STATEMENT For the last two years Wildlife Care WA has been engaging with the State Government, City of Swan and Developers to address the situation of large numbers of displaced kangaroos in the Brabham area. There are a number of mistruths currently being circulated through the media outlets and social media and it is disappointing that media hype created by a few misinformed individuals will cause more stress to the Kangaroos and may now limit the available ...options for them. The Kangaroos that are currently behind fences on the South side of Youle Dean Rd, have water and ample natural food sources to enable them to be safe. Having them behind the fence will reduce stress from members of the public and deaths from vehicle impacts whilst a longer-term solution is arranged within current government policy and approval processes. There are signs on the fences stating that it is private property and therefore anyone entering is trespassing. Wildlife signs previously installed were removed by members of the public. There is a one-way gate installed to allow entry into the area. Water is provided in the open paddocks south of Youle Dean Rd. Water and food is being monitored by the developers, on site contractors, the company who have been hired for a relocation, local residents who are also wildlife carers. There is a plan for these kangaroos and their future is being put at risk by well-meaning members of the public who are creating unnecessary stress by entering the area. We do not want a repeat of the Baldivis situation where well-meaning but ill-informed individuals intervened by cutting fences and entering the confined areas increasing stress levels of animals which resulted in a large percentage of Kangaroos dying during the relocation event. By allowing kangaroos to destress and settled there have been over 100 kangaroos successfully relocated from the Brabham area already. It should be remembered that Peet Ltd have been left with the problem that has been created by all the developments in the area where the Kangaroos have simply been dispersed to undeveloped areas as there is no strategy for dealing with displaced wildlife prior, during and after developments. If you want to help, lobby the State government to develop and implement a Fauna Management strategy for Local Governments across the metropolitan area so that all developers and stakeholders are responsible for the outcome of displaced fauna. We encourage the public to be aware of the true situation and lobby for change but PLEASE DO NOT enter the fenced area if you want the chance of a good outcome for these kangaroos. Thank You See more

23.01.2022 We would like to thank Peet Ltd for their prompt action after the recent shooting of 4 kangaroos in Brabham with arrows. We asked for some action to be taken to prevent access to the location and to set up monitoring of the wildlife and some additional signage. They have done so and closed off the area where vehicles were chasing the wildlife but also dumping household rubbish which is a danger to the health of our wildlife. They have set up CCTV to monitor the wildlife and help keep them safe in multiple locations in their surrounding developments and erected roadside signs warning of kangaroos crossing the roads. At all times they have been approachable and show a real interest in the welfare of the wildlife on their land.

23.01.2022 What a journey this has been. Well worth the many hours of filming with this amazing team.

23.01.2022 We are trying to give options for wildlife/kangaroo warning signs on some of the roads around Brabham So far comments from residents are that the signs from Peet are at an ideal level and that all the other signs are too high and not bright enough to get your attention. These are two that I have found and think the large one should be at the start of the location where we get the most road kill on and the other one at 1klm intervals at eye level and in a fluro yellow. Can we get some comments please I know the Phone number is wrong for WA and do not know if it is worth putting wildcare helpline up as there is often no one there

22.01.2022 This is just so wrong. Two volunteers from Wildlife Care WA inc found this confronting sight while doing rounds of the streets around Brabham to check for injured kangaroos. Witnessing wildlife hit and killed while crossing the busy roads is usually due to the animals hopping out unexpectedly. This incident was a deliberate and calculated act to inflict intense pain and kill.

22.01.2022 Thank you so much to my amazing friend Helen who made these amazing joey bags for us carers. We can't be more grateful for your generosity and time spend making these. Was lovely.yo see you and thanks again. Looking forward to some adventures Love Sherrie Reid.

21.01.2022 Please take care when out and about on our roads that are near bodies of water as these little ones are travelling to find soft sand to lay their eggs

21.01.2022 Our September blog is up and running! Slither into Spring with our Do's and Dont’s this "Snake Season"

20.01.2022 Such a beautiful joey This is Hamish my husband had to shoot his mum who had two broken legs. He is very little but very strong. Thanks for this photo Alex.

20.01.2022 It is raining joeys here at Wildlife Care WA inc.

20.01.2022 Our September blog is up and running! Slither into Spring with our Dos and Donts this "Snake Season"

20.01.2022 Thanks to so very many people who have made this possible. A HUGE thankyou to Alex. Some people only know you as the most amazing animal photographer. We know you as someone who really cares for our precious wildlife. Through your contacts and the industry you work within you have enabled us to get some funds that will help through the coming bushfire season in particular. When you asked us what we needed most for our joeys and we said boxes of tissues we did not think you w...ould present us with a whole floor to ceiling, wall to wall of wonderful boxes of tissues. Thank you to all that donated tissues ,weetbix and other essential items for day to day caring of our little ones. We love you. Thanks to the Raising Joey team. Jennifer we really appreciated how you worked around our need for the welfare of the joeys to come first. And at all times the joeys were our first priority. Thanks to Stephanie and James Haaa you even put your trust in our driving and at one stage went out with us after hours to see how we drive the streets in Brabham to check for injured Kangaroos and drag bodies off the road while all the time checking for in pouch joeys. We know it was a little scary for you. Thank you Tania for your happy banter after you had done make up for Alex. Neither the joeys nor the volunteers needed make up but your happy face and cherry voice helped calm any of our nerves. Thanks to all our volunteers who as usual were eager to be microphoned up and in front of the camera(although not everyone)). And the biggest thanks of all go to our beautiful, courageous Joeys we acknowledge how much you have contributed to this Documentary. We travel with you on your journey to freedom. See more

19.01.2022 Are you unintentionally killing magpies with kindness? Lately we have been seeing a lot of comments on various Facebook pages about locals feeding magpies. We c...annot stress enough the importance of NOT feeding magpies (even mince). If you feed magpies bread, mince or other human food you could be subjecting the birds to a variety of life threatening health consequences, such as: deformities in nestlings and fledglings seizures stomach problems poor feather growth bone abnormalities weak beaks wing deformities possibly causing the inability to fly Bread lacks the appropriate nutrients that magpies need to grow strong bones, feathers and beaks. Raw mince is also a problem as it can expose the magpie to a parasitic disease (Toxoplasma gondii) which can be fatal. Mince can also cause beak rot as the mince can become trapped inside and around the beak. This can result in a bacteria build up, causing the beak to weaken and break off. While it may give you a feel-good experience to be interacting with a wild bird, by feeding a magpie you are changing their wild behaviour if they no longer perceive larger animals (humans) as threats, it means that in future that they could potentially interpret other smaller animals (for example, cats) as also being safe to be in close contact with. As always, if you see a magpie that appears to be in poor condition, please take it to your nearest wildlife rehabilitation centre for treatment. Please share this post with friends and family we can all do the right thing when we know better.

19.01.2022 Recent events within The City of Swan with displaced wildlife suffering horrific injuries and death by persons unknown has just highlighted a far bigger picture. Local wildlife groups have for years lobbied local council and other relevant government departments in an effort to bring to their attention the impact that poor land clearing practices has on our native wildlife. All those that are involved in new developments must accept that they have a moral responsibility for ...the welfare of the wildlife in that area that call it their home. From the Department of Lands and Heritage through to the Department of Environmental Protection the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions, local government and the developers you all have a part to play and must accept that there is a huge problem with the policies ( and lack of) that allow land to be cleared and macro fauna just pushed out. Human wildlife conflict on the surrounding roads is taking a huge toll on motorists, rangers, police and wildlife volunteers. It is time that new policies were introduced to prevent this from recurring. Please watch this page as we negotiate the frustrating journey through red tape to try and get a better outcome for our native wildlife. See more

19.01.2022 Amazing words by an amazing man

19.01.2022 If your a Registered Rehabilitator with DBCA please consider registering... That includes Reptile Relocators (proof of training required).. Or those with a gun licence...

18.01.2022 Please all wildlife volunteers keep this contact close by It really helps to know there is someone there to chat to that understands the things you are going through.

18.01.2022 A glimpse of what our feed stations are attracting.

17.01.2022 Quote from a very wise man.(The Dalai Lama) "The destruction of nature and wildlife populations is a result of ignorance, greed and lack of respect for the earths living things. Our actions affect others. We human beings are the only species with the power to destroy the natural world as we know it. Yet, if we have such a capacity for destruction, so, too, do we have the capacity to protect wildlife and the environmentwe have an urgent responsibility to do so."

16.01.2022 This is Mikey He was found alone under a tree in Whiteman Park. He was weak and dehydrated so need fluids for a couple of days. He is strong now as you can see and has gone to live in the country with a new girlfirend and a great Carer

15.01.2022 This is the face of a mother. A mother who will never get to see her son grow and be free with her in the wild. A mother who is in pain but still tries to protect her joey. A mother whos life has been cut short by a cruel callous and cowardly act. There is no sport in shooting an arrow into a kangaroo that is one of many that graze peacefully on the verge at Brabham. They are trusting of humans in the area as they have not had a reason not too before now. She would have just ...been standing and watching as someone put an arrow deep into her neck. She could not even bend her neck to clean and love her joey. She is out of pain now. This is her little boy who as you can see is very very sad. He cries for his mum and all I can do is hold him and tell him he is safe. He does not understand because you see he was safe before in his mums pouch. Sherrie Reid who is one of our volunteers and contacted me to help her on that horrible day will take him once he is stabilised to be a friend for her little joey. She was given the privilege of giving him his name. She stated she did not want to give him a human name as look what humans have done to him ,his mum and some of his mob. His name is Rafiki from the lion king He is called Raffi for short. We hope he will soon start to feel more secure and loved as the days go by and grow into the big boy his mum would be proud of.

15.01.2022 We urge everyone to please sign and submit. We must take action now before we lose even more of our precious wildlife. You can make a difference.Thank you.

14.01.2022 We would like to thank all those who have donated to the support of our wildlife. We are still back feeding in the fire affected areas and will be for a while now. We hope this rain will help regenerate the bush. Once the Covid 19 crisis is over we will be purchasing some of the items on our wish list,

13.01.2022 So excited. Just going to pick up the latest goodies we have purchased for our Bushfire project. Will post pics soon.

13.01.2022 Wildlife Care WA inc would like to wish al our wonderful supporters a very Merry Christmas. Thank you all for believing in us and what we do and keep safe.

13.01.2022 Please share . We need to do something to change the way many people see the Kangaroo. It breaks my heart to see their land taken away from them without any feelings at all.

12.01.2022 Looks like Mumma has a new little one in her bulging pouch

11.01.2022 Another windy day is forecast with a high fire danger. Curently there are 8 warnings out about bush fires.We ask that you be mindful of our wildlife when driving in the vicinity of these fires. Fires not only destroy bush they destroy the habitat that our wildlife rely on for food,shelter from the elements and also protection from preditors. Wildlife from fire affected areas can be found up to six weeks after the initial fire with injuries. Please ring the wildcare helpline on 94749055 or contact your nearest vet who can give you contact numbers of their local carers. Keep safe everyone.

11.01.2022 Proper Management

11.01.2022 We are slowly decreasing the feed and water stations at one of the fire affected areas.Our cameras show the birds too are now returning to this locationThe footage we get afford us hours of joy to see wildlife partaking of the food and water we are providing to help suppliment the slow regrowth of their natural diet./this bird is a regular visitor for a bath.

10.01.2022 "When we first started monitoring seriously we were only at 40 or 50 breeding pairs reliably located and now we're at 128." Breeding pairs of Carnaby's black co...ckatoos have almost tripled in an area of WA bushland thanks in part to dozens of artificial nesting hollows.

10.01.2022 IMPORTANT NEWS Following on from a petition by Perth Wildlife Rescue and many meetings and a briefing to Council by Wildlife Care WA representatives last month, the City of Swan, at its meeting tonight, is considering a motion to implement a Fauna Management Policy. We are hopeful this is a positive step towards a future where the welfare of our wildlife is considered at all stages of land development and clearing practices. We are grateful to all the wildlife groups and individuals who have worked tirelessly to care for displaced and orphaned wildlife and have lobbied to get this motion presented.

08.01.2022 Dont these three look in great condition. Coming out of summer and from land which was scorched barren they would normally be looking thin, however with the help of your donations they are thriving and even carrying the next Two Rocks generation of Western Grey Kangaroos in their pouches.

08.01.2022 Thank you so much to my amazing friend Helen who made these amazing joey bags for us carers. We cant be more grateful for your generosity and time spend making these. Was lovely.yo see you and thanks again. Looking forward to some adventures Love Sherrie Reid.

07.01.2022 || QUENDA: NATURE"S GARDENERS || Did you know that quenda are considered an ecosystem engineer? You can consider them simply as our bushland gardeners. ...Why? We referred to a great informative bulletin by a team from Murdoch University. In a nutshell, the digging activity of quenda alters their physical surroundings, helping to maintain a healthy ecosystem. Quenda dig to find food including invertebrates, fungi, and plant tubers. Just one quenda can turn over 11kg of soil in a day! Think of a gardener turning over the soil and adding things like Wettasoil, improving water infiltration and helping to break down organic matter. Quenda activity helps the seeds of many native plant species to germinate and grow. Quenda eat that "magic" of the bush, the fruiting bodies of mycorrhizal fungi, and pass those spores in their scats. These spores are crucial to the health of trees such as tuart and jarrah, and grass trees. Have a look at the illustrated and informative Murdoch University bulletin at https://bit.ly/2A3uZaw for more details on this topic.

07.01.2022 Today one of our volunteers along with other community members of the City of Wanneroo will be attending a meeting to discuss the Strategic Community Plan Review. We will be voicing our concerns for Land Clearing Practices and the impact it is having on our native wildlife. Although The City of Wanneroo is currently the only council with a Fauna Management Policy we believe more can be done to lessen the impact that large scale clearing has not only on macro fauna but also on our smaller birds who find it hard to survive in the metropolitan area where blocks are getting smaller and gardens are almost non existent.

07.01.2022 This is Jack (aka) Mr Jack Crinkles. He is one of the joeys from the fires that tore through Two Rocks and Yanchep last year. He had burns to his feet and lost some of his ears. A big thank you to the girls at Bluebush who took him on and treated him for months. At the weekend I had the pleasure of watching him go into a pre release pen where he will get ready for freedom. He has been a sweet easy going boy during the Rehabilitation process. We wish him and the other joeys that went him plenty of grass in their bellies and know they have an amazing sanctuary to hop in for as long as they want. No development. limited traffic and humans that love them.

06.01.2022 With the relaxing of Covid 19 restrictions we have been able to distribute some of the amazing donations we have received to some of our country rehabilitators. As such a load of goodies are on their way down south and hopefully another load up north soon. We also look forward to resuming filming with The Raising Joey team.

06.01.2022 Our volunteers are ethical,responsible and aware of the potencial of passing bacterial and pathogens on to other wildlife. Therefore we are very carefull about the spread and danger from one carer to another..

06.01.2022 This is looking likely for another mob of Kangaroos if their stress level is increased by uninformed and well meaning members of the public.Kangaroos that are in this situation are not used to human interference no matter well it is meant.

06.01.2022 More photos from a trail camera of the emus in Two Rocks.

06.01.2022 Congratulations go to Sherrie Reid who is one of our volunteers and is now studying Cert 2 of Animal Care and is on her way to Vet Nursing or one of the many other exciting paths she can choose

05.01.2022 Our latest little one in care. A Possum joey called Fergus. He is not at all well but we hope as the days go by with the help from our awesome vet he will improve. The tree in which he lived with his mum was cut down We are not sure what happened to his mum after that only that he was alone for three days. Weakened by the experience a stray cat grabbed him and would have killed him but for the household dog who chased the cat off. He has some slight wounds on his tail and is on medication for any potential infection. We do hope he is strong enough to fight his way back to full health. He is living down the shirt of one of our experienced Volunteers as that seems to be just the ideal temperature for him and he gets to hear the heartbeat which he would be used to from his mum.

04.01.2022 Night photo from one of our feed stations and a day photo from the same location Despite the rain you can see in the day photo that there is literately no grasses or ground growth for the kangaroos to eat therefore we will continue feeding for the foreseeable future

04.01.2022 What an amazing day yesterday. Wildlife Care WA inc spent the day filming with Alex Cearns from Houndstooth Studios and the Raising Joey crew at the site of the 2019 fires at Two Rocks. Although it was a little wet and cloudy the atmosphere was far from gloomy. There were smiles all round when we found some new regrowth that the kangaroos have been eating. The sight of a coupe of native plants that had survived the heat flowering was also encouraging. Although the area has seen more than its share of wildlife tragedy and the scars on the landscape will remaining for many years there is hope with the rain and the sight of kangaroos with new life in their pouches. Thank you to all that made it such an enjoyable day. Photos will follow.

04.01.2022 Please leave some water out in the shade for our wildlife, especially the rest of this week with the impending scorching temps. Ceramic or terracotta bowls are ideal, and don't forget to bring your pets inside.

04.01.2022 The land on the corner of Isoodon and Youle Dean is set for development in the next few years. After most of the surrounding land has been cleared the wildlife have been forced to retreat to this location. Due to the large number of kangaroo deaths and the potential for a fatal accident to occur in this area it was requested that a fence be errected to keep the kangaroos and motorists safe. The developers have nearly completed fencing the whole area off but have to wait till ...the water levels drop in some parts to complete the fence. It is planned to relocate the kangaroos if possible once the fence is closed and the weather is cooler this also depends on the animals not being stressed by cars driving through the location. As proven by the Baldivis tragedy stressed kangaroos die during relocation attempts.Concerns are that the padlocked gate in Isoodon ( put there for fire brigade to access ) is consistently breached, the chain cut and vehicles joy riding .PLEASE keep the gate closed. It has not been shut to annoy people so they cant use the racetrack it is to protect the wildlife Thank you. See more

03.01.2022 This is Lewis aka Lew. He was found in Whiteman Park after his mum was hit by a car and he was named after the great Lew Whiteman.

03.01.2022 Had a clean out of pouches and joey items and packed away my tiny pouches as pinky session is over right. WRONG little boy in yesterday so back to sleepless nights. Just a reminder to people PLEASE stop and check if you see a dead Kangaroo .You may save a precious little life. Call 1300 596 457 and ask for help They may be able to talk you through the steps to take to check if it is a male or a female and how to check for a joey

03.01.2022 Thanks go to Kelly and the wonderful guys and gals at Whiteman Park. Little joeys Eden and Ella are doing well. You are doing a great job under difficult circumstances to ensure the wildlife and the park are being looked after. Thanks.

03.01.2022 To honour the late Lew Whiteman our latest little joey who came from Whiteman Park will be called Manton Lewis Cyril Whiteman. Lew for short. Welcome little man. Photo to follow as he is only new and very scared His mum was found deceased in Whiteman Park before coming into care

02.01.2022 Our hearts go out to the wildlife volunteers in Colorado and the animals they are rescuing. Thank you. We received so much support from you all when we had fires over here and so many of our Australian wildlife survived because of your generosity. Keep up the amazing work you are doing We send you hugs.

02.01.2022 This is Marcie, she is a survivor of out of date Land Clearing Practices in WA. Her mum was not so lucky.

01.01.2022 Taken by one of our amazing trail cameras. We have followed these two since just after the fires tore apart their home in Two Rocks. Along with another couple of Kangaroos they are sheltering in a patch of bush that the fire missed. However the food supply is scarce so we set up a food station just for them. Little bub has doubled in size over the last 6 months and now his mum has a precious new life in her pouch. It is such a joy to see them thrive and we look forward to seeing the new arrival in a few months.

01.01.2022 Seems like investigations are still on going Glad that so far no more have been found. Thanks to Peet Ltd for repairing some of the fencing where vehicles were gaining entrance to the paddock and for putting up signs along the road warning of kangaroos crossing. Little Rafiki is now doing well and we hope he will continue to thrive with the love and care from Sherrie Reid

01.01.2022 This is Raffi .He was orphaned when his mum was one of four kangaroos shot with arrows at Brabham and had to be euthanised.He has grown into a handsome joey who is now getting out of his pouch and exploring the world. Shame he is not where he belongs with his mum and his mob. They could have taught him so much more than we will ever be able to.
