🦆💚 Meet our little Wood Duckling family at Phoenix Wildlife Rescue Inc. 💚🦆

We currently have 12 gorgeous Wood Ducklings in care, each with their own little story. 🥰

👑 Stella — our Chief Duckling.
Stella is our oldest and, naturally, has appointed herself chief!
She came into care with a soft-tissue leg injury after being examined by the wonderful team at Killarney Vale Vets, who did a fabulous job X-raying her and helping us understand what’s going on.
Stella is now on twice-daily antibiotics and pain relief while she recovers. Thankfully, she has her 11 feathered friends to keep her company. 💕

🐥 Douggy — the little one left behind.
Douggy came to us from Wamberal, after a kind member of the community found him alone on their doorstep with no parents around. He was incredibly young — probably only a day or two old — but thankfully healthy. Since arriving, he has been thriving, gaining weight and loving life with his duckling buddies! 🥰

🐥🐥🐥 The Dixies — ten little survivors.
Our other ten ducklings were collected from Avoca Drive by another wonderful member of the community, who sadly found their mother and three siblings deceased following a road accident. 💔

Thanks to his quick action, ten little lives were saved and brought into care. We named them The Dixies!

🌿 Ducky Daycare! 🏊‍♂️🦆
When the weather allows, the ducklings enjoy outdoor daycare with access to their very own spa and pool facilities! 😂💦 At night, they snuggle together indoors in their incubator, getting the warmth they still need as they grow and thrive.

We’re incredibly grateful to the members of the community, vets and carers who help give these little ones a second chance. 💚

If you would like to help us to save more birds like these little ducklings, please consider making a financial contribution.
Our whole team are volunteers so every cent goes directly to the care of these precious animals.

It’s Turkey time!

Have you noticed huge mounds of dirt and leaves around?
Maybe even in your yard?

That is the native Australian Brush Turkey building and maintaining their nests for the females to lay their eggs in.

They are constantly adding and removing leaves to their mounds to keep it at the optimal temperature of between 33 and 35 degrees.

These unique animals, their nests, eggs and chicks are protected by law.

Please be kind to and look out for our wildlife.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Did you know that Phoenix Wildlife Rescue Inc. is run entirely by volunteers?

Every day, our dedicated team responds to calls through our wildlife rescue hotline, races out to rescue birds in need, provides ongoing care and rehabilitation, prepares food, cleans cages, transports animals, and does countless other jobs behind the scenes.

With so much time spent caring for our native birds, there isn’t always much time left for fundraising. Unfortunately, rehabilitation comes with many ongoing costs, and many of our volunteers regularly use their own money to help cover things like food, equipment, fuel, cleaning supplies and other essential items.

One of the biggest areas we desperately need help with is our vet bills.

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing veterinary partners, who already do so much to support us. They generously provide discounts and, where possible, may even waive some costs. However, they are businesses too, and unfortunately, not every treatment or procedure can be provided free of charge.

That’s where we need your help. ❤️

Even a donation of just $5 can make a difference. Whether it’s a one-off donation or an ongoing contribution, every dollar helps us pay for the veterinary care our birds need and gives our volunteers more peace of mind to focus on what matters most — rescuing, rehabilitating and caring for our precious native birds.

We completely understand that times are tough right now, and not everyone is in a position to donate. But if you do have just $5 to spare, we would be incredibly grateful if you considered supporting Phoenix Wildlife Rescue Inc.

Donate here:

https://www.mycause.com.au/charity/68269/PhoenixWildlifeRescue?fbclid=IwRlRTSAT9sY9wZG9mAWZkaWQWUNRjQPmH_RIt8d4Nuj1WcHOAKoi5r2V4dG4DYWVtAjEwAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkCjY2Mjg1NjgzNzkAAR5PzqFYKQl3q3NOxywPAqt9cogg1vSapgBROPWFj9tJK0MT3w9VgnB-BoXuRA_aem_D4xp4AcgmF7TZvbjPEJVSQ

If you’re unable to help financially, you can still make a huge difference by liking, commenting on and sharing this post to help us reach more people.

Thank you so much for supporting our volunteers and helping us continue to give our native birds the care they deserve.

Every $5 makes a difference.

Just a quick reminder that the Masked Lapwing AKA Plovers and their chicks are about.

It is against the law to interfere with them and their nests.

If you find a Masked Lapwing in distress, please call your local wildlife organisation for assistance or advice.

💔 The Sad Story of Hans the Kookaburra — Please Don’t Feed Wild Birds 💔

This is Hans. And sadly, his story doesn’t have the happy ending we hope and strive for.

Hans was found lying in the middle of the road near the public school in Holgate. A kind member of the public stopped, picked him up and took him to a veterinary clinic in Erina.

There were no obvious wounds. His wings and pelvis showed no signs of fractures, and initially, Hans appeared ready to go into care. But there was one significant concern: he was severely underweight.

Ines from Phoenix Wildlife Rescue Inc. took Hans into care and began slowly nursing him back to health. At first, he had to be force-fed, but then came little victories. ❤️

After a few days, Hans started picking up food by himself.

Every day brought another small improvement.

After a week, he was strong enough to perch by himself, sitting on his branch and watching the world around him.

After almost two weeks, we thought we might be ready for a flight test.

Sadly, Hans couldn’t gain enough height or maintain his balance properly.

Something wasn’t right.

Hans was taken to the wonderful vets at Somersby Animal Hospital for a thorough examination and X-rays. What those X-rays revealed broke our hearts.

Hans had metabolic bone disease — the devastating result of prolonged malnutrition and severe calcium deficiency.

And this is where we need to talk about something that many people do with the very best intentions:

❌ Please don’t feed wild kookaburras mince, meat or human food.

It might seem like you’re helping. A kookaburra happily taking food from your hand can feel like a beautiful connection with nature.

But it can actually be incredibly harmful.

Kookaburras are specialised predators. Their natural diet provides the nutrients, calcium and balance they need to develop and maintain a strong skeleton.
When they are regularly given easy foods such as mince, they can become dependent on this unnatural food source, fill up on nutritionally inadequate meals and stop hunting for the prey their bodies actually need.

Over time, serious nutritional deficiencies can develop.

And the consequences can be catastrophic.

Hans’s skeleton had become dangerously fragile. Even relatively minor impacts could cause fractures to bones that should have been strong.

The accident that brought Hans into care may have caused fractures that later healed — but the X-ray told us that his problems had started long before that day.

Hans had been struggling for much longer.

And despite everything he was given in care — nutritious food, warmth, safety, medication, love and round-the-clock TLC — we couldn’t undo the damage caused by the nutritional deficiencies he had suffered before coming to us.

Eventually, the heartbreaking decision had to be made to let Hans go. 😔

This is never an easy decision. We do everything we can to nurse them to health but when the animal is suffering, sometimes it’s the kindest thing to do.

We will never know exactly who fed Hans or how long it had been happening.

And that’s not the point.

The point is that feeding wildlife can have consequences that aren’t visible until it is too late.

So please, if you love our native birds, let them be wild. 🐦

Don’t feed them mince.
Don’t feed them bread.
Don’t feed them leftovers.
Don’t feed them human food.

Instead, enjoy watching them hunt, forage and behave as nature intended.

The kindest thing you can give a wild bird is the freedom to remain wild.

Hans deserved that chance.

💔 Fly free, little Hans. We are so sorry we couldn’t save you.
