25.01.2022 Update - sadly the pups didn’t survive the night but at least they passed away warm & with full tummies. I have confirmed with a vet & a fox expert & they were in fact baby foxes as some of us suspected,not dog puppies The great SES crew went to a house in Balcombe St Corinella a man had puppies under his house. They are very very cold & mouths full of dirt, so I’m warming them up not sure if they will make it through the night thanks Colleen

24.01.2022 A baby wallaby rescued by a caring local in Rhyll. Wallaby is very skinny & under weight but hopefully he makes it through the night. Baby drank well over night so hope he wil just get stronger from here. Thanks to our Shelter friend Sue for taking this beautiful boy into her care this afternoon

23.01.2022 This poor bird was put to sleep this week. His beak was twisted out of shape and his legs bowed so badly that he couldn’t run. He has been eking out an existenc...e for the past few years by being fed table scraps, dog food and chicken mince. He had metabolic bone disease. Metabolic bone disease in birds results in painful degenerative changes in the bones that result from nutritional imbalance and deficiencies. Imbalances of calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin D3 can lead to soft or brittle beaks, claws and keel, bone fractures and enlarged parathyroid glands. If you talk to bird carers, and avian vets they will tell you that this is one of the biggest causes of euthanasia of black and white baby birds that come into care. What makes this so heartbreaking is that in many instances the reason for MBD is entirely preventable because it is due to humans feeding these birds or the birds parents when the bird is still in nest. If you are feeding mince, bread, seed, sausage, chicken or pet food to wild birds you may well be part of the problem. Human food is not natural for magpies and can make them sick. A natural diet for these birds consists of insects and small animals. We often hear I love my local maggies and feed them regularly. If you truly care then don’t feed them regularly and don’t feed them human foods. **** If you really want to help then a compost heap or worm farm can augment the natural food supply during these dry times and still bring these magnificent birds as visitors to your yard******

07.01.2022 Exciting news Colleen’s husband just saw a bandicoot run across the road safely near the Newhaven Info Centre at 8.15pm Sat 31st, it means they are now moving off Churchill Island where they were released by the Melb Researches. They have also been seen by our friends at the airport, so they are on the move every night to make new homes for themselves We must protect these beautiful animals and we can do that by driving slower at night especially between the airport & up to Newhaven Vets & also by locking our CATS up before dark everyday and our dogs for that matter
