Feathers & Fur Small Animal Rescue - Bird Sanctuary

10/08/2026

Just a little update on the little Newborn Orphan Wild Rangeland Goat kid found abandoned by her mother in the bush at Bellbird on the 01/08/26.

Little Lulu has come leaps and bounds and is very loved and extremely socialised staying by Jacobs side even at his other job as a Support worker. Lulu has been enjoying playing with the kids, attending groups and hanging out at the community hub, spending nights at SIL houses and even hanging out on respite, a massive thank you to Nicholas Stephens at Supporting You Better for being such an amazing and understanding Boss and for all the Support you provide to our Rescue.

Lulu loves going for drives, playing with the kids and seeing what furniture is worth playing bouncy on.

All of us here at Feathers & Fur Small Animal Rescue would like to say a massive Thank you to Aylish from Vetafarm for your support!
We appreciate that even though sponsorship numbers have been filled you still put together a lovely care package to show your support.

We do truly believe in Vetafarm products from your rearing formulas, supplements, speciality pellets, cleaning products and parasite control we utilise all of them and believe highly in the quality products you provide.
Appropriate nutrition contents and Palatability is far superior to other lower quality products on the market.

Vetafarm pellet range fed with fresh fruit, veg and sprouts provides good nutrition and helps establish a good gut microbiome promoting appropriate Immune Protection, Metabolic Regulation and Nutrient Digestion promoting a healthy happy animal. We have also found that feeding a maintenance diet pellet with prevents increasing growth of fatty tumours in larger parrots so we transition any parrots that come into care with fatty tumours to a MD and fruit and veg diet as we have found it reduces increased growth of already present tumours. Birds that have had fatty tumours removed are then maintained on a MD and fruit and veg diet and we have found it reduces the risk of developing further masses and prevents further growth of inoperative masses.

If you are transitioning and require advice or assistance with the transition to a Vetafarm pellet diet please don't hesitate to reach out!

There are lots of posts regarding the 'brown' pelicans which are actually oiled birds from an oil spill in Sydney!! This is a photo from Taronga which shows a 'brown' bird after being cleaned up! Please make sure you report any birds you see to your local wildlife group including Marine Wildlife Rescue Central Coast & Sydney Wildlife (Sydney Metropolitan Wildlife Services)!
They are not a cross breed, they need help from a diesel spill ASAP!!!

Sadly our Horse float has seen better days and is currently off the road due to requiring some major repairs and restoration.

Our horse float is utilised for more then just transporting horses we utilise the horse float to collect large numbers of poultry, pocket pets and other from both the RSPCA and private surrenders aswell as collecting feed and bedding from supplies aswell as collecting of enclosures, fencing, wire and supplies for enclosure maintenance. We utilise the horse float for many different tasks that are required to help keep our day to day running possible.

We had our float looked at due to one of the structural straps between the wheel arches welds failed.

On further examination it was brought to our attention that the structural frame from the floor to the frame requires sections cut out and replaced around the whole base of the float requiring major repairs.
The one good thing is the stainless steel floor doesn't require replacement though requires all builders ply to be replaced both floor and side/kick panels aswell as structural rear beam requires replacement/repairs aswell as tailgate hinges, timber ramp needs replacing as well as reinforcement to tailgate.
We have been lucky enough to source replacement boards at a fraction of the price thanks to Lindy and jaakko at the Formworks Shop.
We still require some other supplies to have the repairs attended to.

Obviously if we had the funds to replace the float completely with a new or used more structurally sound one we would. Obviously something bigger like a three haul angle to suit our needs would be more ideal but we are trying to make do.

Help us get our float structurely safe and back on the road

With all this cold rainy weather we are struggling to keep up with Lucerne bales due to cost and availability and have resorted to Oaten rounds to keep everyone warm! We also have increased feed requirements for our avian species!

For hindgut fermenters like horses and guinea pigs) facing rainy cold weather requires abundant roughage is a physiological necessity rather than just a dietary staple. Fiber fermentation in the cecum and colon acts as an internal heater, generating critical body heat. The colder and wetter it gets, the more roughage they require to thermoregulate and maintain body condition.

ruminants include cattle, sheep, and goats also require more roughage and energy in cold rainy weather as the breakdown of fiber in the rumen generates internal body heat, which is essential to keep the animal warm when temperatures drop.

Avian birds and poultry burn significantly more calories and protein to maintain their high internal body temperature around 41°C and to shiver against damp, wet, windy conditions.
Every dollar counts!
assist us to keep everyone warm, comfortable and to maintain body condition.

Alternatively if you have unopened feed, Lucerne or hay you wish to donate please don't hesitate to reach out.
Straw is also very useful to keep animals out of the wet and provides a great bedding in wet weather as straw allows water to drain away rather than absorbing the water.
