🐣 Found a baby bird? Please pause before picking it up.
Many young birds leave the nest before they can fly well. Their parents are often nearby, feeding and protecting them — even if you cannot see them.
What to do:
• If it is feathered, alert and uninjured: leave it where it is, or gently move it only a short distance to a safe nearby shrub or branch away from pets and traffic. Keep dogs and cats inside, then watch from a distance.
• If it is unfeathered or very lightly feathered: it may have fallen from the nest. If you can safely see the nest, gently return it. The parents will not reject it because you touched it.
• If it is injured, cold, weak, has been caught by a cat, or its parents have not returned after observing from a distance: place it in a ventilated box lined with a soft cloth, keep it warm, dark and quiet, and contact a licensed wildlife rescue service.
Please do not feed it, give it water, or try to care for it yourself — the wrong food or handling can quickly cause harm.
The kindest first step is often to leave a healthy fledgling with its family. 💚

FAWNA Bird Flu update for Western Australia, the latest official weekly update dated 4 September is reassuring: 35 wildlife tests were undertaken during the week with zero new positives. WA remains at 10 detections in total, all in migratory seabirds, and remains at Level 2 under the State Hazard Plan. WA has now tested 447 wildlife samples since 19 June.
WILDLIFE EMERGENCIES ARE EMERGENCIES TOO 🚨
Next time you see this flyer with your rates notice … we want it to look like this!
WA’s volunteer wildlife organisations respond to animals affected by fires, storms, road trauma and biosecurity emergencies—yet receive no reliable, ongoing operational funding.
Our volunteers give their time freely, but insurance, vehicles, fuel, maintenance, training, utilities and PPE are not free.
The public expects help to be there when they call a wildlife emergency number. We need properly funded, safe and effective services—just like our firefighters, SES and Marine Rescue.
We’re asking the WA Government to make eligible wildlife emergency organisations recipients of Emergency Services Levy funding.
Please email:
📧 Minister.Whitby@dpc.wa.gov.au
📧 Minister.Beazley@dpc.wa.gov.au
Ask them to support ongoing funding for WA’s wildlife rescue and emergency services.
Please share—our wildlife cannot ask for help, but we can.

Meet Paul, a lovely timber truck driver and self-described “Super Empath.”
He spotted a young Kookaburra on the highway and knew he had to stop.
Because he cared, this little bird now has a chance.
Wildlife rescue doesn’t happen alone.
It takes the whole community to care for wildlife.
