SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!

As many of you already know, Spring is peak baby bird season! We have already received a number of calls from Fauna Rescue, but sadly we can’t manage to take many of them as we still have a Rosella (Skittles) in care. We did manage to take one baby magpie in (Ranga, named after where he was found; at the zoo slap bang in the orangutan cage) but sadly he died the first night. We think it was either because of the overall shock, or he had a blockage of some kind (RIP Ranga).

Ok, so basically Spring is my favourite season. It’s warm and sunny, it’s the season my birthday is in, and it’s the season of life where we get to look after heaps of ADORABLE baby birdies! I mean, what’s not to like!!!!

Spring is a great season for birds, especially nectivores, as this is when the flowers start to bloom (in case you don’t know what a nectivore is, well, they eat nectar. I know right, I never woulda guessed!) If you have a nectivore in care, make sure to fill the cage with heaps of bright flowers like a natural habitat, even if they haven’t quite learned to get the nectar from there themselves!!! (If you want to learn more about nectivore and other birds feeding habits, then hey, why not check out one of my earlier posts!)

Many of the birds (especially baby birds) we have in care need encouragement at first to start eating or drinking. It’s soooo cute when we have baby magpies, because when they need feeding, trust me, they’ll let you know!
