Kookaburra Rescue

posted in: Reportage | 0

Our property is shared with at least one mob of Kookaburra who often engage in some serious, and very noisy, squabbles. In 2018 one of these birds became trapped in a chimney shaft. The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Wingecarribee Unit attended and effected a very professional rescue.

A WIRES wildlife rescue volunteer then provided a couple of days recuperation for the bird before it was released.
