Newbies

OK this is just to help me to remember. There will be photos soon. Since the Roomba we have had 2 baby doves, both doing well and tonight we picked up from Mt Gravatt 2 possums (A mother with baby in pouch and her older baby) We have also had a Lorikeet that has unfortunately died and a Pale Headed Rosella.
Today I almost had a Peace full Dove but it had extensive infections and had to be euthenaised.

Sorry guys for the dribble... I'm just trying to keep up. Stay tuned for the pics of some of these animals.

Introducing our new Baby

This is our new baby. We haven't got a name for her yet, but she is a big help around the house. I can now vaccume and have a cup of tea at the same time. We just love her.



Don't you just love her.
Stay tuned for the baby chickens!!!

Ok so here are some pics of Morgan's babies. We only had them for a night but could not resist photographing them.

This is a spotted python. He is so sweet

Here he is again, dont you just love the rainbow colours.

This is a baby Bearded Dragon. Aint he cute?

He even looks good in Black and White.

OHH so sweet.

Hope you liked them. Stay tuned for the Chicks and the New Baby!!

Greetings all,
Sorry it has been so long since my last post.
I don't have any new photos to post yet as Blake has his camera, but here is some news.

We have baby chickens! Yes thats right more animals. I have always wanted chickens and the idea of fresh eggs in the morning is very appealing. They are all girls and they are called Zoe, Kayley and Inara. They are beautiful.

On Monday Hazel and I, with the help of Rose, held a stall at the opening of Bingara, an Aboriginal week long festival. We were given a stall by Robbie, the man who is now the first Aboriginal council member.

The stall was fantastic, we received lots of donations and were able to give many people advice on how to care for the wildlife in their area. Many people were interested in what we do and extremely surprised that we receive no government help. We were able to teach them heaps and hopefully they will tell others about what to do.

I took Wheels in to play and she was the star of the day. We had newspaper photographers and News cameras pointed at her all day. When I took her for a walk she was greeted by people saying "Hello there Wheels" even though I had never met them. Word spread pretty quickly that there was a beautiful Cockatoo in the wildlife stall and we were greeted by patrons of the day and office folk just coming in to see her.
The only downfall for the day was that it was freezing and windy. We could not escape the wind and Hazel and I have never been so cold. I did not stop shivering all day, I was even wearing a table cloth to try and keep warm. The people in the coffee shop looked after us though, they loved Wheels so much that they gave us free coffee. Oh and just to winge, parking cost me $40!! wow that was a hit to the donation tin.

I have recently decided to sell some of my photos on ebay for the group. Gemma this is where I may need your help in printing costs etc. I think it will be quite good.

Finally I would like to tell you that Troy and I have not only bought 3 chickens, we have also spent a fortune on our lovely new pet, Barbara. We haven't decided if it is male or female yet but the name seemed to fit. She/He is beautiful and I will tell you more about it when I have some photos. te he he.

Well thats it for now
Take care everyone and hope to see you all soon.

The Fishies

Well here are the fish...just the Marine Tank though, still got the Fresh Water tank to photograph.

On a sad note, Dash had to go to heaven today. I will miss him heaps. He was just so sweet. Never thought I could get so attached to a darn Pigeon.

Well enjoy the Fishies

Here is Scorpy. He is very cute but very hard to feed.

Perry. He is so smart that he mimics all the other fishs' eating habbits. He is very sociable and oh so handsome.

Kimba the Whit Lion Fish. She is very beautiful. Always swims up-side-down after she eats.

Jan Itor. Stunning colours and very sweet. He and Perry are good mates.

Welcome Xander

A Big welcome to Xander. He is one of the beasties that we inherited. He is a Blue Tounge Skink that got hit by a car about a year ago. He is very placid but isn't eating as well as we would like. He is releasable and will leave us in Summer along with Mr Turtle.
I looked up our little new bird, which is named "Dash" on the net and im affraid to say that he is indeed a Pigeon. I still love him and enjoy raising him. His breathing is back to normal and he has a clean bill of health. Yay for me. Troy even had a go at feeding him. He is now about 14 days old. I will keep you all updated on his progress.

Any way enough dribble... Here is our beautiful Xander

You can see here the scar on his head from his accident.

Im telling him that he has to eat or ill eat him...lol

The only shot of many where we captured his tounge.

He loves to be stroked on the back.

Our Newbie

Our latest addition. Not sure exactily what this little guy is. We susspect a dove or a Pigeon. We will know when he grows up. I got him today for Kessels Road, he was very cold and as a result may have a respiritory problem. He is now in the Humidi Crib and with all of our fingers and toes crossed he will hopefully get better. We have yet to name this little guy so any suggestions will be greatly appricated.
We have also inherited Two more turtles, a very large water dragon and a blue tounge. The water dragon and the turtles are all hibernating at the moment so there wont be photos of them for a while. I will take pics of Xander the Blue Tounge for my next post.
Hope you like our newbies.

The Birdies!!

As promised here are some pics of our birds...not great shots but at least you all get to meet our little feathered Friends.

These little beauties are Fry (front) and Mrs Flappy. Fry came to us as a hatchling, still with egg shell on him. He loves to whistle "Im walking on sunshine". Mrs Flappy is very special, whe injured her head, quite a few times, before we got her but she seems to be back to normal now. She still acts like a baby and thinks Fry is her Mummy. She is the friendly one of the two.

This is a terrible shot of Sumdgie the Budgie. He may have Beak and Feather but we dont know for sure yet. I swore that I would never own a budgie, but how could I resist this beautiful face. He has brilliant colours that just dont show up in pictures.

For those of you that dont know her, this is Wheels. Wheels, I am proud to say, is the most kindest natured animal you will ever meet. She is more of a lap cat then a bird. Wheels loves nothing more then to be cuddled and stroked under the wings. She only really says "Hello Wheels" but her eyes say so much more. If you dont like birds, Wheels will change your mind.

Thanks for looking everyone, hope you enjoy meeting all of my babies, and Emerson, I hope this helps you to remember all of your friends in Brissie. Troy and I have some more Wild animals, and as soon as I can borrow Blakes camera again, I shall have lots of new photos for you all to see. Stay tuned, next post : FISH

See you all soon,
Stay Wild

Friend Bat

As Promised...here is Friend Bat. He is a Bracia Mastiff Micro Bat, fully grown and very sweet. Blake is coming over tonight with his Macro Lens so stay tuned for more Friendy.

Favourite food - Meal Worms - Yum Yum

Buffy, the Cricket Slayer

Sorry Guys I know I promised photos of birds and Friend Bat, but I just had to show off our beautiful Water Dragon, "Buffy". She has gaind 26grams since we have had her and loves to catch live crickets!
She is also getting very used to being handled. Hope you enjoy.

The Furry Ones

Here are some Pics of our furry friends. They all just love to pose for the camera!!

This is Miki...she is very sweet and is almost always in season. She is a tiny blue burmese and loves to cuddle with her mum and Sister.

This is the fat one Lilan. She is the mother to both Miki and Eris. Her favourite person in the world is Troy but she will snuggle with anyone who gives her attention. She loves to talk and always takes the time to smell the roses!

This is the world famous Kittan. He has congenial myotonia, (the fainting goat disease), which makes it very difficult for him to walk and eat. He is always pulling funny faces and is the sweetest-natured cat in the universe. He has to put up with a lot from the other cats and kittens in our house but he never complains...besides he is so strong that if anyone bothers him he can beat them up or throw them down the hallway without hardly moving!!

Eris...What can i say, she is just soooo beautiful. She is the shy one of the family. You will not notice she is around until she "Sprongs" onto your lap. She loves boys and will cuddle with anyone.

"Hi Emerson, Brandy here, Im a Dog. Just thought I would send you a picture of me so you remember what I look like. Mummy took me swimming the other day and now my legs are very sore, but I can still play with the ball if you want to come over for a while. I miss our garden play time and hope that you are well. Big Kiss
Brandy"

Hope you all like our furry friends...stay tuned for our Feathered Freaks and of course Friend Bat...

The Wild Ones

Ok Everyone, Here are some pics of some of our Wildlife...Hope you enjoy!!

This is Buffy. She is a Water Dragon. She has very bad sores on her back and hind legs. Her favourite pastime is lying in the sun soaking herself in her homemade waterhole. She is very sweet and loves to eat Crickets and Mealworms. Water Dragons are one of Troy's favourite Reptiles. Buffy also has a damaged eye, so sadly we may not be able to release her.

This is Henry. He is a Ring Tail Possum. He is very friendly and was quite happy to be woken up to a nice bowl of milk. Henry will be released in the next few months.

This is my attempt at Black and White....Ill keep trying

Mr Turtle. He was hit by a car and the top part of his shell was badly damaged. It has taken us a very long time to get his wounds all better but he is now doing really well and will be released when he gains some more weight and it starts to get warmer. Mr Turtle is a SawShell turtle and is only friendly when wrapped in a towel!!

Hope you all like these pics....Stay tuned for some more tomorrow!!!

Stay Wild

First Entry

Hello There Everyone,

Thought it would be easier for me to have my own Blog so that I can keep track of all of our animals as well as posting some pices for you all to see.
I will try to update once a week with all of our newbies but if you know me at all you will know how slack I am.
Iris this may be the only way to make sure I keep up the camera work so that Emerson can see all of our babies.
Love to all and Stay Free.
