Fauna Rescue Whitsundays has put out the call for wildlife volunteers – more specifically bird carers. The organisation is seeking volunteers to help care for birds in need.  

“Right now, we are stretched and need extra hands as soon as possible to ensure these animals receive the care they deserve,” the team said in a Facebook post.  

‍

Fauna Rescue have listed their requirements which are as follows:  

• Rescues and collections of birds from vets or members of publics

• General support with daily care

• Mediating with bird coordinators to maintain health and wellbeing of animals in care

‍

No experience is required as guidance and training will be provided.

The Whitsunday’s region is home to beautiful wildlife however human exposure and environmental factors can put them in danger. It is immensely important that we – as a community – protect them so that the area can sustain its eco-diversity.  

The call is specifically for the Whitsunday and Mackay regions.  

Contact details, expressions of interest and extensive information about wildlife conservation can be accessed via Fauna Rescue Whitsundays website.

The Fauna Rescue Whitsunday’s website contains a wealth of resources and knowledge for assisting and protecting animals in need – from birds to bandicoots.

For emergencies rescues or situations – the team can be accessed via hotline: 4947 3389.
