My new cage will set me free

Preparing the site
Preparing the site

From big to small, we have to house them all.   Having a facility that is suited to both the large predatory Powerful Owls down to the cute little Sugar Gliders, they all need the space and security of a controlled environment to rebuild their strength prior to being released. After first spending time in a carers home receiving medical treatment or being hand reared, these animals need to then go to a large aviary to build up strength.  For birds, this allows them to learn to fly with precision and endurance and for mammals, the skills for climbing and jumping between branches that will be critical once released.

Quite a few bird species live in groups in the wild. To give them the best chance of surviving once released we need a large enough aviary for them to form these groups. Birds need enough area to fly without damaging their wings. The aviary has been lined with a heavy duty shade cloth on the inside to prevent any feather injurings occuring from the wire mesh.

For mammals, they require a large enough area to be able to jump and climb branches to search for food navigating a habitat that mimics their natural environment.

This all needs to be done without the threat of predators, allowing them to be able to get away from danger and survive when released back into their natural habitat.

By releasing healthy, strong animals we are ensuring the hard work the volunteers have done to save their lives will help the preservation of our unique wildlife in this great city.
