Wow, we lost billions of Native Animals during 2019/20 fires & after, due to habitat loss, & since then at least 1.5Mil per year on average are killed, because they're in somebody's way? #Criminal @wildlife-rescue.bsky.social is well worth a follow. They can use all the help they can get. #auspol

Unconscionable. Australia has so many wonderful and unique critters, it just breaks my heart that so many are in trouble -- and because of humans. 💔

Forrest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. Been working on this image for a while. I hope it captures the personality of the cockatoo? These birds are fun to photograph they love to chew! Chewing helps sharpen their beaks makes a huge mess on the ground when they decide to do some “pruning” #ausbirds #birds

They're magnificent looking owls. We don't have anything quite that stunning in Australia but plenty of cute owls. The powerful owl lives up to its name though. Probably the most feared are these fellas👇=Humble Magpie. They're notorious dive bombers. Very intelligent & fearsome

Impressive photo. I recently took a call from a farmer, re: Wedgetail downed by winds in Vic w/injured wing. Local vet advised him to bring it to the surgery but he wasn't game to go near it, so he called us. Found a raptor expert nearby. Farmer happy, Wedgetail in good hands. Happy ending #Wildoz

A controversial proposition that Conservationists might have concerns about. Captive breeding to boost dwindling populations & reintroduce captive-born individuals back to the wild is vastly different to keeping endangered wildlife as pets #wildoz #auswildlife theconversation.com/could-keepin...

theconversation.com

Could keeping native species as pets save them from extinction? Here’s why it’s not that simple

Why can’t you keep a wombat or koala as a pet rather than a cat or dog? There are good reasons why keeping native animals as pets isn’t as easy as it seems

🙏Please ppl, if you see bits of net or fishing line, anything a bird can get its feet caught in lying around, pick up & bin it. Last year we had to rescue a young magpie w net on a leg that got caught on a tree branch. So lucky we got to him. #WildlifeRescue #Nature #Birds

This is Pumbah, a 6yo male Alpine Dingo. Dingoes are Australia’s wild canid and as the only native apex predator they play a vital role keeping the ecosystem in balance

One of the delights of living in Tasmania is sharing a yard with small marsupials called pademelons. Since cutting holes in our fence and letting them in, we no longer need to mow grass instead we have a marsupial law. The grass cutter do demand payment there efforts and enforce rules 1/

Wildlife rescuers in Victoria's Grampians region are reporting multiple cases of kangaroos getting their heads stuck in domestic kitchen bins and say it's because tourists are feeding them.
