Birds at Wild Days

Picture
Picture
Picture
The birds of Wild Days come in many shapes and sizes, making up the most diverse group.
​
This includes the smallest of swallow or finch to the majestic Yellow-tailed black cockatoo. The tiny Spotted pardalote to the cunning Pied Currawong.  A short visit by a
magnificent Wedge-tailed eagle came in as the biggest. Many species of parrots, wattlebirds and honeyeaters are visitors of fledgling mishaps.

The Pacific Black ducklings and other wetland birds create the biggest mess and the Magpies, Plovers, Ravens, Galahs, Corellas and Cockatoos take the lead as the noisiest.

Birds need care primarily due to road trauma and cat attack. many are in care for a short period and some for a lengthy stay. EAch with their own specific diet, housing requirements and husbandry specialties.  Extra care is taken to ensure that they are not imprinted or learn to talk while here!
