Over the weekend, 10 of our rescue volunteers completed a parrot handling workshop at WA Wildlife.
We are receiving more calls to our hotline with requests to rescue parrots and bird species other than seabirds/waterbirds. Our induction training doesn’t cover this and we need to keep our volunteers safe. We like to focus our attention on seabird and waterbird rescue (which we’re specialists in) – but our volunteers do try to help all kinds of birds if they’re available.
Big thanks to Lauren, Karen, the parrots involved and all WA Wildlife volunteers!
