Wildlife Warriors' Australian Wildlife Hospital - Patient of the Week: Flax, the Wonga Pigeon

Meet FLAX !

 

 

Cute little Flax, the Wonga Pigeon, was found in Flaxton, on the Sunshine Coast, by a kindly man named Steve who took him to the Wildlife Hospital. Good job Steve!

Flax was crop fed and given sub-cutaneous fluids, then sent to rest in a warm incubator overnight.

Little Flax has now been sent to a specialised bird rehabilitator to learn how to be a wild wonga pigeon before being released back at Flaxton.

 

Did you know? - Wonga pigeons are endemic to the east coast of Australia, ranging from Queensland to Victoria.

 

 

Our Queensland wildlife are feeling the pain with the majority of their habitats inundated with flood waters. As the clean up begins around South East Queensland, the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital and Australia Zoo Rescue Unit are seeing an influx of flood affected victims.

As a charity, Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors relies on donations to run their key projects, including the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. They are appealing to the community to help raise funds through the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Flood Appeal which will assist in treating wildlife victims.

Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Veterinarian, Dr Amber Gillett is working overtime to treat sick and injured wildlife.

"I'm really proud to be helping the wildlife victims of the floods who don't have a voice. Without a voice these beautiful, innocent victims rely on us to help them survive during this devastating time." said Dr Amber.
