Help care for our
native wildlife

🌅 Witness a journey of hope and healing as we celebrate the triumphant return of “Wonnerup,” a majestic wedge-tailed eagle, to his natural habitat after receiving incredible care at the Perth Wildlife Hospital. 🦅
Wonnerup is on the path to regaining his strength, and it’s all thanks to an extraordinary community effort. His journey back to the wild, near Fawna Flight Academy, symbolizes the power of collective action and compassion for wildlife in need.
Caring for wildlife isn’t a solo act; it’s a symphony of kindness and dedication. From the skilled hands of veterinarians and the steadfast support of volunteers to the generous donations of individuals, this sector thrives on philanthropy and heart. Sadly, much of this vital work remains underreported, yet it is essential for providing a second chance at life for countless creatures like Wonnerup.
Let’s amplify the importance of wildlife rehabilitation and show our support for this crucial cause. Together, we can make a difference and ensure these magnificent beings continue to soar. Thank you for being a beacon of hope! 💚✨

🌡️ When the heat is relentless, even the quiet ones need relief 💧
This is one of our precious Western Ringtail Possums, currently under care at our Possum Conditioning School here in Western Australia.
Today, the temperatures soared — the kind of heat that presses down on bushland, hollows and treetops alike. For wildlife, there’s no switch to flick, no air-conditioning to escape to. Survival becomes about finding shade… and finding water.
Inside their enclosure, this little ringtail discovered the gentle relief of a cool water mister. You can almost see the tension ease as fine droplets settle on fur that’s built for the canopy, not extreme heat. A small comfort — but one that can make all the difference on days like this.
💚 Western Ringtail Possums are critically endangered. Every individual matters. Every moment of care counts.
As climate extremes become more common, wildlife carers are adapting in real time — cooling enclosures, monitoring stress, and doing everything possible to give our native animals the best chance to recover and return home.
If you’re feeling the heat today, imagine living through it without shelter or water — and consider leaving a shallow dish of water in your garden, or supporting the people on the ground who step in when nature needs a helping hand.
🐾 Because compassion isn’t loud — it’s consistent.

Community effort to assist Wildlife. This poor critically endangered Western Ringtail Possum was found impaled on reinforcing wire this morning. Neighbors rallied to assist our rescuer to extract the poor possum and get him straight to a vet. Big gratitude to those who helped and to our amazing local vets.
Today there is 34 Critically Endangered Western Ringtail Possums enrolled in FAWNA Possum Finishing School P&C
This facility is the final stretch of conditioning for wild release. 31 of these possums has been lovingly hand reared by a FAWNA carers from as little as 80g. When our possums reach 600g it’s time for possum Finishing School, to learn to eat a range of native foliage, become less humanized, become familiar with other possums and to build body condition. Over 5 years, Researchers from University of WA have radio tracked FAWNA raised possums on release. Our methodology has resulted in a repeatable 80% survival rate even in presence of Foxes. Our Rescue and Rehab Teams, our Vets and our sponsors and volunteers can be very proud of the only Scientifically Proven effective raise and release Western Ringtail release program in the state.
We can save these little beauties from extinction!
Don’t be surprised if you see young Swans in your back yard or walking down your street. Cygnets that have been left behind in drying wetlands are now on the March - often with undeveloped wings they will walk out of the wetlands looking for large water bodies. Over the weekend Cygnets were found with damaged feet from walking on man made surfaces around the SW Region of Western Australia
If you see a Cygnet, try and usher it into a safe, enclosed area. Ensure dogs are kept away. Please give FAWNA a call so we can take it to safety and care.

I wish I could capture the amazing iridescence and colour of this beautiful king fisher. Unable to fly after bumping into a window, he is going to spend some time in care- he is certainly very feisty!
We have had an influx of possums with burnt paws from having to relocate from hot resting spots like under solar panels -crossing very hot man-made surfaces- sadly some of the females have had young joeys. This one has been rejected by his mum as she struggles to recover from her burns. Such sweet helpless little g possums- he is now on care with an experienced rehabber- let’s hope we will be able to reunite when they are both well!
