We've lost a friend.

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!!!
 

While we are truly devastated by the loss of Tara, we cherish the moments and many stories we have of her.
We will continue to tell her story and she will be remembered forever.

Rest in Peace Tara ❤️💖

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.
