Sponsership

[den]

During a discussion with some of the other members of the local WIRES branch, someone suggested we look for sponsership of various animals. Since we're volunteers we don't get any funding: all our care work is self funded. Bats are easy so I'm not looking for money, but Kangaroos, euros, and wallabies can be in care for 6 months. One of the members has 25 joeys, 1 kestrel chick, 2 herons, 3 falcons and an eagle.

So, if you had a chance would you sponser an animal? WIRES is a registered charity so Aussies get a tax refund. Sponsers would get a photos of the animal/bird, and emailed updates. And the thanks of some tired people 8)

The money would go toward food, vet bills, bedding, transport for THAT animal only.

Ah but the mapies here aren't the same as the mapies there. 8) In fact, we are by law not permitted to keep introduced species, as much as it pains us. One of my fellow rescuers is English and she cries every time she has to euthanise a blackbird.

but the Aussie magpie looks a lot like a small crow, except in black and white.
