Happy days!

Thanks to Vet Nursing students Deva and Sharon for transporting these two Black Swans to Whitby Lakes, where they were released.

A beautiful and picturesque afternoon for this adventure.

We are so happy to see them free again!

This is what we work for, and it makes it all worthwhile.

We currently have 6 beautiful Black Swans at the facility, all requiring much care and attention daily.

Generally we have 1 or 2 at a time so 6 is pretty crazy!

WBRT is deeply saddened by the loss of a very special Paradise Duck, Tara.

Words cannot express how important she was to so many people.
A special soul who was loved immensely.

Tara had been with us for over 4 years. She became a long term resident after she was shot in the wing which resulted in an amputation. Tara also had no voice which made her the quietest paradise duck we have ever met!!!
 

Tara made herself known to all visitors that came to the facility by famously lying down for pats, or (if you were on the wrong side of her) chasing your feet!

She always had a "favourite" person who she followed around daily (generally the interns from overseas!) and without fail, was there to greet you in the morning and see you off at night.

Cutest update

today!

Our little
orphan duckling now has companionship!
