Currently in care

Flynn, the goulds wattled bat. He is finally self feeding putting on weight. I just drop a tray of meal worms into his bat tent and he goes mad on them. I have to wear latex gloves when I feed him, not because he is vicious, but because he is such a hungry guts he latches on to the first worm-flavoured thing he smells which is usually my fingers.

Blue faced honey heater. She was raised by another carer who didn't have a large aviary for flight training. The next week or so will see the bird transferred to increasingly larger cages so she gets used to flapping.

Welcome Swallow. This tiny chick fell out of its nest this morning and landed in my care. It's feathered but not yet flying. I have about 1 week of intensive feeding to get it to flapping age, and then it'll be off to The Wild.

Ha ha ha, I get first comment. That tiny chick has good aim, landing in your care. Just think, it could have landed anywhere. How's that 16 year old dog that's landed in your care? And apropo of nothing, I saw burn before reading the other night. It's very funny.

Old dog is old. He can't stand up on his own now but once you stand him up he can totter around okay. He's eating well and seems to be well, apart from being old.

Hobbes is having trouble walking at the moment. He eats the soft dog meats but he won't eat his bickies. He hasn't been able to stand up on his own for a while but he had little trouble walking around. Today was very hot and all he did was lay in the shade. He is tottery on his feet and lays down again after walking a few feet.

Poor old dog.

Aha, now we know why critters like you and it boils down to these three words: Tastes like worms! X-D

That's because Flynn is hoping for a mega jumbo mealworm! XD
Flap, you avians, flap!
