25.01.2022 Almost daily we get reports of manged Wombats in need of care and treatment. This is a terrible disease and has a high mortality rate if not treated, and the animal in the wild suffers terribly. WE can either treat this if notified of the animal in distress, or euthanase the animal if too badly infected with the mite.

25.01.2022 Stunning image!

25.01.2022 Excited! releasing after months of care with John, my first "Snake" interesting day aheadExcited! releasing after months of care with John, my first "Snake" interesting day ahead

24.01.2022 For many years, wild wombats have been treated with Cydectin (active ingredient moxidectin) but there is very little scientific evidence about appropriate effec...tive dosage. The University of Melbourne expressed interest in conducting research into the use of moxidectin. Mange Management is thrilled to support this research with $20,000 from our Pick My Project grant from the Victorian Government. Our contribution will fund the first-phase study of this research which can now commence this year. The ultimate goal of this project is to provide solid scientific data about effective dosing and side effects of moxidectin in bare-nosed wombats.

24.01.2022 Well worth it... amazing to watch thanks

23.01.2022 All donations received for our Network, are 100% spent on Native Fauna Rescue, Rehabilition & Release, plus supporting the volunteers whom without, our work could not be done. Thank you to all for your continued support. Linda

23.01.2022 A WIRES volunteer and bird carer has reported the mass deaths of Galahs in Parkes. The flock that is known to frequent and feed in the area was discovered on M...onday. More than 50 birds suspected to have been poisoned, were found on the ground around the area deceased and dying. Investigations are underway to determine the exact cause of death. We ask members of the public living in areas affected by the mouse plague to call WIRES on 1300 094 737 if they find native animals showing signs of poisoning or contact your nearest Vet for assessment.

22.01.2022 The world is a sad place right now and whilst we cant do much on a big scale, we can help to improve our immediate environment. Natures beauty is ever present... and I try and concentrate on that beauty on a daily basis. What could be more innocently beautiful than this baby flying-fox that will grow up to become one of Australias most important mammals. Our only nocturnal, long distance pollinators and seed dispersers of native forests helping to create and maintain Australian forests into the future. Any flying-fox by itself through the day is in trouble. Dont touch but please call 0488 228 134 for Brisbane and surrounding districts or phone the nearest wildlife rescue organisation in your area. #bats #flyingfox See more

21.01.2022 Importance of flying-foxes - some interesting information https://www.youtube.com/watch https://environment.des.qld.gov.au//flying-fox/importance

21.01.2022 Having worked with macropods for many years, there is always something that is new to see. Scruffy, an Eastern Grey Kangaroo, resting her chest on her male joey while she is feeding. The joey is laying under her with a teat from the pouch, having a drink, they stayed like this for about 15 minutes.

21.01.2022 During the Covid 19 lockdown our group call rate dropped significantly. Since the easing of restrictions on travel the rate is picking up again. Please drive carefully.

20.01.2022 This is a great opportunity for anyone who may want to contribute in some way to supporting our wildlife after the recent fires and floods.

18.01.2022 This is the goshawk which ate my guinea pig, hung around for months then left after the feast!

18.01.2022 Why do people still insist on bringing illegal exotic animals into this country, and wildlife carers that get involved in escaped ones, that then under the current legal rules must report it, and the animal is euthanased. As a carer I am involved in these operations, and it is terrible for the carer. I have in recent times been involved in Corn Snakes and Leopard Geckos. They are then reported to the DPI Invasive species branch and the NPWS in NSW, and after DNA testing they are put down. I hate that. Photo of Leopard Gecko taken out of a residential yard.

18.01.2022 Please always check pouches

17.01.2022 New into care after possibly being kicked out by mum. Weather atm is too brutal for this little boy to thrive by himself, so he will be in care a little while till he is stronger and the weather is more suitable

16.01.2022 Thank you Will - for your kind donation https://www.willegan.com/

16.01.2022 How beautiful Will, your not alone in having these feelings, having courage to share shows your strength & your art work is just so descriptive. Well done

16.01.2022 Due to the current COVID-19 health risks Until NSW Health has cleared their advice and recommendations, which we assume will not be for a while. While there are no specific guidelines for wildlife carers with regard to the COVID-19 Coronavirus, it is more important than ever for us to take appropriate health and safety precautions. ... As a wildlife carer, you should already be practicing good hygiene protocols, such as washing your hands thoroughly, and wearing appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). NSW Health does not recommend the use of face masks unless you are infected, a health care professional, or someone in close contact with an infected person (e.g. a carer for an infected person). be careful and look after yourselves Observe NSW Health Guidelines The NSW Department of Health has provided these guidelines to protect yourself from COVID-19. The simple steps include: clean your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based sanitiser with at least 60% alcohol. cover your sneeze or cough with your elbow or with a tissue. avoid close contact with people who are ill avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth stay home if you are sick. Should you continue to do rescues? You must not undertake rescues if you have been confirmed as being infected with COVID-19, or if you suspect that you might be infected. In most other cases, it will be up to you to decide whether you want to attend rescues, but you may want to reconsider undertaking rescues if you are feeling unwell as you may be more susceptible to viruses. Are you High Risk? The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies those most at risk of infection as including: Older adults People who have serious chronic medical conditions like: o Heart disease o Diabetes o Lung disease If you are in the high risk category, CDC recommends you should: Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others. When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick, limit close contact and wash your hands often. Avoid crowds as much as possible. Avoid cruise travel and non-essential air travel. During a COVID-19 outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible to further reduce your risk of being exposed. Everyday Precautions for Wildlife Carers

11.01.2022 I will leave it to Linda, one of our carers, to tell the story & probably post a photo. Today Linda did her first release of a venomous Red Bellied Black snake from entrapment in fruit tree netting, found at Jenolan Caves. Well done Linda.

09.01.2022 Just thought Id share this for any carers out there rescuing birds

09.01.2022 And pleased we are to be associated with this project.

09.01.2022 Well worth the long drive... this Red Bellied Black snake was trapped - in garden netting. On picking him up from Jenolan Caves, heading back to deliver to our Reptile Specialist. This was a great lesson as I assisted John with the removal of the netting.

09.01.2022 I thought you might be interested ! Beautifully written article!

05.01.2022 Going Batty! A reminder that bats, both Mega and Micro, are very active still, and our group is receiving calls for removal or advice on a regular basis. 1. If you have one inside a house, or trapped on a fence as in the pictures, never try to touch, assist or remove the animal as they will bite & scratch quite aggressively if touched. 2. They will not defend themselves if you leave them alone. Call a Wildlife care group either for advice or removal / rescue of the bat. 3. I...f in a building, when night is arriving, leave windows, doors etc., open and normally once dark they will fly out of the building. 4. Some of the species carry Australian Bat Lyssa Virus ( Rabies) which can be fatal to humans, and only immunised wildlife carers are permitted to work with them for rescue / release. 5. If bitten, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water, and attend your local GP or hospital. If possible a carer is required to capture the animal, and it has to be put to sleep and be tested for the virus, if it carries it. See more
