FAWNA Inc Needs more Nutters!
We are a privileged to be custodians of some magnificent Red Tailed Black Cockatoos that much their way through a huge bucket of honkey nuts every day.
If you have a tree with lots of honky/gum nuts we would love some please! They must be either green or still closed containing the seeds. Pine cones and pencil pine ball nuts are also acceptable fare!
Pm if you can help and we can give delivery of pick up instructions.
If you live near Capel you can also become a regular“ Flight Attendant “ fawna_flight_academy” and enjoy these beautiful birds up close!
Feeding the Tawny Frogmouths FAWNA Flight Academy. Love these beauties 🙏💚
Who is that? Is it a bird? A plane? No it’s Super Possum Man! Most Peppy Beach locals will recognize Dylan, who is currently on a New critical mission! It is that time of year when @F.A.W.N.A Inc wildlife carers send their hand-reared, orphaned and displaced Western Ringtail Possums to FAWNA Possum Finishing School P&C to complete their last leg of care before being released back to the Wild. Located in Ludlow, thhe current cohort is 40 possums that require a huge bunch of browse( a bouquet of fresh native leaves) every two days. Where better to collect yummy Peppy leaves but @peppermint grove beach.
You can assist Dylan by dropping Browse in a bucket to his place on Hardy Terrace and you can even come along and help feed the possums if you have a couple of hours spare, any day- we are always looking for willing Possum Keepers.
Please PM for more info.
Every bit helps! Gratitude to the Capel Shire Team - raising nearly $200 to assist@F.A.W.N.A Inc to deliver wildlife welfare outcomes in the Southwest 💚
This is the fourth Wedge-tailed Eagle to come into care in as many months and one of 6 large Raptors. Still able to fly but with a hanging wing and skin lesions suggest this “ very heavy “ bird has been doing it tough. A retired vet had lost a prized hen to this bird yesterday and found it again today enjoying another rare breed hen. He was able to lock the Eagle inside the hen house with some terrified hens allowing us to capture it.
An examination tomorrow will shed light on this beautiful bird’s condition. Such a privilege to be able to assist a magnificent creature.
Sometimes I think we take the beauty of our common avian species for granted. Corellas are noisy but magnificent!
Thank you to everyone that participated in our month long survey.
Our survey revealed that a staggering 95% of survey respondents strongly support our vision for a Regional Wildlife Hospital here in the South West 💚🙌🏾
This incredible backing confirms the urgent need for this facility in our region.
Funding from the Western Australian Government`s State NRM Program is helping us kickstart the groundwork for this much-needed facility. Together, we can make a difference for our wildlife! @nrmpwa

It is always sad to see Aussie wildlife struck down on a road - but this was a beautiful fat adult male Phascogale (Phascogale tapoatafa) seemed like he had met his fate with with a wry smile on his little antichinus face - Live fast, breed hard, and die young
Phascogales exhibit an unusual reproductive strategy among mammals known as semelparity, where males engage in a single, energetically exhaustive breeding season before dying. This behavior is characterised by elevated corticosteroid levels, immune system collapse, and organ failure following intense mating activity.
Never seen a phascogale? Nocturnal tree dwellers they move in swift short stretches, changing direction to outsmart predators- surviving in pockets of bushland throughout the Southwest they are listed as “ vulnerable “.
