24.01.2022 Look out for me! With the strong winds across the state many of the young wildlife will find themselves in trouble. Possum joeys become separated from mum and ...need her warmth to survive. Although fledgling birds spend time on the ground growing they can sometimes become lost due to the wild weather. You can help these spring babies by keeping a close eye out for youngsters on the ground and contact us for advice. If they are injured they can go straight to the vet clinic for assessment.

22.01.2022 Road trauma is one of the highest reasons animals come to care (usually the pouch Joey). This is great advice

20.01.2022 This is a sad day for the Leadbeater's Possum and Greater Glider :(

17.01.2022 BIG NEWS: Coming out of the last horror bushfire season, it was clear that something needed to be done to fix our broken response to wildlife, to utilise our q...ualified rescuers, and to stop preventable death and suffering of native animals. So I wrote a Private Members Bill to establish a new authority for wildlife rescue, modeled off other emergency services, like the SES and CFA. Today, it came to a debate in the Victorian Parliament. I am so pleased to share that in response to my bill, the Government has not only acknowledged the problem, but announced a commitment to work with me to fix Victoria's broken wildlife response, and all options will be considered. Big change is on the way for Victorian wildlife - and it starts here today. Consultation with the wildlife community will begin soon, and I will keep you posted on this important process. Thank you to everyone who helped us get here. Read more about this campaign here: https://andymeddick.com.au/campai/wildlife-rescue-victoria/

16.01.2022 Nest defence is not ‘aggression’ but exactly what it says - a defence. It has nothing to do with ‘anger’ or ‘hatred’ and it is not an undirected, mean or delib...erately nasty behaviour. - Professor Gisela Kaplan It is important to distinguish between ‘swooping’ and attacking. Generally, the word ‘attack’ is used but this often does not accurately explain the purpose of the magpie’s approach. Magpie swooping is usually not meant to make contact or harm the person but to encourage the person to make a wider turn away from the nest. - Professor Gisela Kaplan. Savage magpie attacks are extremely rare, occurring in less than 1% of cases. - Professor Darryl Jones. The most dangerous animal in Australia is an ant, the jumping jack which kills more people annually than crocodiles - Professor Gisela Kaplan.

04.01.2022 Sue does an incredible job with all wildlife but especially koalas. She is one of Gippsland’s busiest shelters. This is Larry. Finally recovered now and hopefully after having been hit by a car twice he will take Sue’s stern advice to be more careful!

03.01.2022 As a mouse plague continues to devastate NSW, there’s never been a more important time to steer clear of second generation rodent poison. Second generation ant...icoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) can kill in a single dose but they are slow-acting and can remain in tissue for months or even years. This means that poisoned rodents become walking time bombs. Unfortunately, birds that eat rodents, like owls, can easily consume multiple poisoned animals receive a lethal dose of toxins. Secondary poisoning is a very real threat to our birds and Australia has little regulation on their use they can be easily purchased in hardware and grocery stores across the country. But now, the NSW State Government has lodged an emergency request with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to approve the wide-scale agricultural use of the second generation rodent bait, bromadiolone. BirdLife Australia has contacted the APVMA to voice our concerns about how regulators plan on minimising the potentially devastating impacts of this baiting on non-target species like our birds of prey. With no comprehensive monitoring, there’s still so much we don’t know about the long-term effects of exposure to rodenticide on our wildlife. The impact of these poisons on our native birds, marsupials and reptiles could be catastrophic. But for those of us in urban settings, we can make better choices. We can reduce our dependence on poison baits, opting for non-toxic options like snap traps. When using rodenticide is necessary, consider choosing first generation poisons those with Active Constituents on the label like Warfarin and Coumatetralyl.

02.01.2022 IMPORTANT: I have just received answers to the many questions coming to my office about animal rescue and care in Victoria. Firstly, I want to share some good n...ews for shelters and rescues. Adoptions CAN continue under specific rules. I am so glad my conversations with the Andrews Government have come to a sensible result. A big thank you to all of the shelters, rescuers and concerned animal lovers who swiftly brought it to my attention. Wildlife and animal rescue can also continue, including supplying care, but rescuers (this includes volunteers) must fill out a permitted industry form here: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/permitted-worker-scheme-covid-19 Read the full DHHS update on animal rescue, adoption and care here: https://www.business.vic.gov.au//agriculture,-forestry-and Read the DELWP update on wildlife rescue and care here: https://www.wildlife.vic.gov.au//sick-injured-or-orphaned- Please share this post and tag anyone you think needs to know.

02.01.2022 After the devastating Black Summer, The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is convening a wildlife welfare roundtable with representatives across the welfare sector, to improve their approach to responding to wildlife in times of fire emergency. We urge you to please complete this survey so that the system for rescue can be improved and avoid the distress of last fire season. Please also share it with others. The survey closes on Monday 29 June, so please do it as quickly as possible. Thank you. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WildlifeWelfare

02.01.2022 Please cut your straps before putting in bin. Or better still....use re-usable masks! A sea bird will thank you
