Rosella update

Glad tidings!

The injured rosella rescued by this blog on Australia Day seems to have made a full recovery.

Today we phoned Rose, the wildlife rescue lady who took the bird into her care; she told us that the wing wasn’t broken after all. Rather, she thinks he was disabled by a pulled tendon. After a couple of days rest, he now seems to be able to fly without a problem.

Rose says she will soon release the lucky rosella back into the wild. This has been, for us all, a very satisfying outcome.

And hats off to Rose and her fellow wildlife rescue volunteers, some of the many unsung Aussie heroes that make all our lives that much richer.
