This cheeky little rainbow lorikeet landed on the shoulder of a surprised person as they were getting out of their car in Mont Albert Nth, clearly lost and searching for their human.

We would to love to help this little character to find them. Has some very distinctive characteristics that their person would know. If you are that person, we can't wait to hear from you.

Today we give thanks. Grateful to the big corporations trying to minimise waste going to landfill.

Each week one of our local Coles stores gives us their fruit and vegetable 'waste'. Food that is considered no longer fit for sale - but majority of it is still eatable. Just some bruising or spots or in some cases one piece of fruit in a pre packaged container (eg berries/apples/pears/carrots) that has spoiled but the rest in the package perfectly fine however the entire packet is sent to 'waste'. We sort and cut up the fruit and vegies into daily 'chop' for our birds which is a main part of their diet. Saving us hundreds!

This week we also were donated a big box of bird toys by our local Petbarn that were going to be discarded. We were thrilled at this as they are an item that we love to be able to provide for our birds to further enrich their environment however are a luxury we are rarely able to afford each week after our many other expenses.

Thank you ###

These two nestling tawny frogmouths had had their nest blown out of its tree in a bad storm and were found on the ground quite far apart from each other in a backyard.

I made up a replacement nest for them from a hanging basket then headed there to try to help them out.

When I arrived, the residents of the property had gently put the babies together under the tree the nest had fallen from and popped a washing basket over them to keep them safe. As I walked into the yard, the mother tawny was on the ground next to the washing basket checking on her chicks, but then flew up into the tree to keep an eye on what was going on below. Although they are nocturnal birds, due to the stress of the situation with their chicks in danger, the parents were awake and watchful, swooping between two trees ignoring the protests from the local noisy miners and magpies who weren't used to seeing these birds flying around in the daylight.

Using a ladder I placed the makeshift nest up into the tree then went and watched from a distance to ensure that the parents found their babies and were accepting of the nest I had built.

As I watched the mother flew back down to the spot where her babies had been and had a good look around for them, then flew into another tree. She hadn't realised yet that they were in the basket.

After nearly an hour of watching and with day turning to dusk the babies started to get restless and no doubt hungry making small sounds that finally caught the attention of their mother. With one swoop she landed above the nest then hopped down to her little ones whose necks were stretching skyward with mouths open. I left the family to their reunion. Next morning I checked in with the residents who let me know babies were being kept warm by their parents in the nest and all seemed well.

Found wandering the streets of Surrey Hills, this gorgeous Isa Brown chicken was clearly lost. A kind resident took her in and kept her safe overnight and she is now in our care.

She has a couple of distinct unique features that her owner would know. If you believe she is yours, we would love to hear from you.

Saddened to see as I travel around my local area in the lead up to Halloween this Friday, the number of homes that have already put up their decorations (some have been up since the start of October) which include fake cobwebs.

Please stop using fake cobwebs to spook up your home this Halloween because they pose a huge danger to wildlife.

Birds, bats, small animals, insects and bees are often attracted to the decoration and get caught, resulting in injury and/or death.

The webs are often not just contained to the property they are in as can be easily blown around in the wind, then spread around public places such as parks and beaches, where wildlife are drawn to, and because majority aren’t biodegradable, can hang around for months or even years with the danger ongoing.

Birds often use spider silk to build their nests and cannot tell the difference between real and fake webbing. This can result in birds and their young becoming stuck in the fake web.

Please, by all means decorate your home if you wish to join in the fun of Halloween, but please contain the use of fake cobwebs to indoors
