This handsome chap flew down to check me out as I pulled up at Bunnings the other day. Gular pouches - not just for pelicans 🖤

Baby Tuesday’s pathology came back and his tumour is benign! He isn’t out of the woods yet but this feels miraculous 🖤

Splash (in my magpie aviary last summer) turned up yesterday with a full new set of adult feathers & is, in fact, a he! The saltiest of birds, he needed tube feeds and lots of meds to survive bacterial enteritis, & he’s never forgiven me - but accepted a native raspberry off the bush yesterday 🥰🖤

Sharing bc Nick is excellent on sustainable farming practices in the increasingly bleak face of late stage capitalism - highly recommend 💚

A busy night for wildlife! Encountered this beautiful great barred frog and this very calm little eastern small-eyed snake while I was doing bedtime rounds of the aviaries tonight. Three years ago, encountering a snake that venomous I would’ve tried to call in an airstrike 😏

Piper sends kisses to everyone who’s followed their journey and sent them mojo. All three are looking wonderful - we’ve finished all our meds, and they’re all so big and strong and absolutely feral 🤣 I could not be happier for them 🖤

Hard to believe they’re not quite six weeks old now, but also I have spent pretty much every waking minute with them so it feels like forever. They have all bounced back so brilliantly!! Everyone is eating well, & Piper is devoting her life to being an absolute menace, which is glorious 🤣🖤

One of last year’s darlings - Horton, a pheasant coucal, showing what she thinks of mice (“delicious!”).
Pheasant coucals are the coolest cuckoos around, and one of only a very few which aren’t brood parasites - not only do they raise their own babies, they’ve been known to adopt orphans ❤️

She was the smallest, but she ruled the big boys with an iron fist. Truthfully, though, they all loved each other fiercely, and built cuddle puddles so you couldn’t tell where one began and the others ended.
Sleep well, Pandora, little princess. It was a joy to have you for so long ❤️😂

My beautiful eclectus parrot is outside the window just quietly saying, “Hewwo!” over and over because he knows I can hear him, and I say it back. It’s the sweetest way to start a day 💚

It’s totally pervasive. I was just thinking about how Mum had hard contact lenses and I only have the option of daily disposables 🤔
I would like to give a company 'money' and own an 'item' in exchange
Instead of renting or subscribing to it for perpetuity and watching it degrade as I pay more for it every month
It is a shocking concept AND YET what if... it could work

11g at hatch. The following day, Prue, Piper and Phoebe weighed 13, 15 and 16g. That’s my bank card, for comparison.
They’re still doing it pretty tough - and it was 38C today, which was brutal on these poor little nuclear reactors - but they are hanging in there 🖤

A long, long day - I spent 2.5 hours at the wildlife hospital today while my kiddos waited their turn in triage - luckily, one of my friends had an appt so I had great company.
Phoebe has been doing it so tough but I think we are finally onto the right meds - she’s a smidge brighter tonight 🖤

All three of the Halliwell crow babies woke up hungry today, and ate solids, and kept them down! I think we still have some candida but we have a Zoo appt this afternoon so we can get back on top of that. Otherwise, they continue to gain weight at a truly astonishing pace 🖤

I need to clarify, here. I am a licensed wildlife carer in Queensland, where I raise & release birds - especially corvids & frugivores. I absolutely do not advocate keeping any of these birds as pets, and I implore people not to feed wildlife.
I will never post a photo of animals in distress.

How it started vs how it’s going - Niles & Frasier. This pair’s parents had nested on a crane in South Brisbane, which was dismantled. The crane was transported up the coast but these guys weren’t found til the lorry got to Caloundra. They were emaciated & dehydrated.

I’m still on Threads but I really feel like I need to get away from the influence of the Zusks of the world. I find this app frustrating bc it takes ages to login but I’m gonna give it a go.
So hi, I’m the one on Threads who kicked a python in the face with bare feet bc it had one of my crows.
