We will always remember you Steve!!!
You are an inspiration.

We can remember this day when we had this pic taken.

Our thoughts are with you Terri, Robert, Bindi and the rest of the family, especially his Dad Bob and Judy.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years!!!

We miss you Steve.

Yesterday afternoon we released two big male pelicans, one had botulism and the other one had hooks, both were in care for a while .

Both of them were so close so we couldn’t split them up.

They both enjoyed their fish in captivity they were good eaters.

While we were out William from wildlife Noosa wanted us to come to Noosa to see if we could rescue this big male pelican.

So after when we released the two beautiful big males pelicans we headed to Noosa.

It was a bit of a waiting process but we end up getting him in 15 minutes, he was a bit suspicious as other rescue groups were trying to get him.

But we weren’t going to leave without him, we had a audience watching us too.

So we went around to see William and his face was so surprised when we told him we have the pelican on board, he was so relieved that we had him.

We removed the triple hook, now he is in our care.

We have had a very busy two days.

We had to go to Coolum for a Northern Petrel that was weak and exhausted, she has been tested by Dr Claude, just waiting on results, but pretty sure she will come back negative as she isn’t showing any signs of neurological problems , but our fingers are crossed.

Also we picked up a black swan yesterday from the Australia zoo wildlife hospital, we are waiting on his results to come back too.

So both birds are in our quarantine room, should get results some time tomorrow.

Then we got a phone call from a lady for a pelican down at Donny Brook, so we went down today to rescue her, the feather folic’s have been a bit damaged.

Also the two little cygnets got dropped off to us all the way from Gympie one parent was killed by a car, the little cygnets have to come into care as both have wounds, thank you Janine for rescuing them.

If anyone has spare towels , sheets , pillows slips , doona covers it would be great, but we are a bit fussy just can’t have holes or threads.

You are more than welcome to drop them off to us, it would be much appreciated.

Over the last 10 days we have been very busy with all the birds coming in like ducklings, pelicans and other little birds as well .

The nine little ducklings lost their parents then the little one on his own couldn’t keep up with his siblings.

Gertz from Noosa brought us a pelican in he rescued. He has a sore foot due to Fish Line and hooks.

It was so nice of William from Wildlife Noosa bringing down the botulism pelican. We’ve had her for a few days and she’s doing well.

Sorry we have been a bit slack with our posts, also it frustrates us if we can’t get out on a rescue so sometimes we have to pass it on to another rescue group.

We had a great day last Sunday at the Ekka.

What a day we had we our friend Georgi who also volunteers with us.

It was our first time there and we totally love it all especially all the farm animals and the birds.

While we were there visiting we were getting pulled up by people every ten minutes, as they wanted to have a pic and a chat with us, we didn’t mind as we made their day.

It was amazing day!!!

This morning the Maroochydore Car club came for a morning tea and a tour, they enjoyed the hospitality and love how we cared for the birds .

They couldn’t believe how calm all the birds were.

Mum love the army jeep.
It was a lovely morning.

These two beautiful Northern Giant Petrels came in at different times.

We are so glad they escaped the H5 bird flu.

When both are ready for release it’s going to be in the back of our minds , just hope they won’t get the H5 when they head home as they are such amazing birds.

They both enjoy their Atlantic salmon, also fish guts and other fish as well.

They take it in turns with the larger pool.

Very beautiful to care for.

We would like to thank you all for your support with our fundraising last month for our Quarantine facility.

So we will be very well prepared , for the H5 bird flu.

Thank you again.

It’s so hard to imagine that these two little cuties are six and half weeks old.

It’s just amazing how quickly they can grow, now we can understand why they get themselves into trouble when they take their first tempt of flight at three and half months old, so that’s why they land in paddocks or side of road trying to make it to the coast, then they come exhausted, weak , anaemic, thin as they don’t know how to feed themselves.

So we are going to try our best to teach them by our dam how to fish, also they will see the adult pelicans looking for fish too.

But if they do attempt to fly and land in our other paddock we will rescue them and finished off rehabilitation as we don’t want them to get weak and sick.

We got a phone call from Rowley on Saturday to see if we can care for this beautiful young pelican we said of course we can, so mum and auntie dorrie went to meet him near north lakes, so a big thank you.

This poor pelican is very under weight, very pale and anaemic, also he was full of parasites, he couldn’t even fly due to weakness.

If this bird had went to a vet he would have been euthanised because his bloods would show poor results.

We have had him for two days , he is showing good signs the poor darling, he is only a big baby.

This is our fifth juvenile real young pelican we have pulled through, all they need is a chance of survival to live.

Plenty of love , fish ,rest ,and warmth.

We look at it this way if they pass away at least we know we gave them a chance of survival, but we are so happy we have pulled all our young juvenile pelicans through.

So thank you Rowley for giving this beautiful pelican a second chance to live.
