The chickens are now permanently penned due to bird flu and as part of their pen upgrade we got this water dispenser from Nesty boxes. They learnt very quickly how to drink from it and it helps to keep the water clean and free of any mess 😍
We are also on the hunt for more enrichment inspo! Show us your enrichment ideas in the comments that you implement in your chicken areas! 🥰🐔

As well as the spring influx, we have been busy doing a refresh of a lot of the permanent longtermers enclosures.
Mike got a full tank clean and refresh of all his substrate and wasted no time in having a dig 😝
Mike is a permanent resident as he was seized from poor living conditions so he can't be released into the wild.

If you’ve seen our posts recently you may have seen that we took in 25 budgies from poor conditions and it’s been a bit of an unfortunate time as we have lost 9 of them since then - we tested to ensure it wasn’t bird flu and after getting to the root cause we can happily say they’re thriving now.

Here’s a photo of one of the girls who we’ve named Bruce - Bruce is the biggest budgie in there and she likes to put her security hat 👮🏻🚓🚨 on and block the doorway for the rest of the flock to get through! We imagine this was her job in a former life and she was clearly very good at it! 😂

Whilst they aren’t yet available for adoption we will post when they’re ready with more information! 🙌🏻

Dream, the lovely piggy that needed eye surgery was recently moved into our bun housing where she met long term resident, Patch. Patch is an older boy and has been a permanent resident here at Mighty Misfits for a while!

As you can probably tell from the photo, they hit it off! We set up a bonding session for them both and they were immediately smitten - whilst both Dream & Patch are long term residents here and won’t be available for adoption due to age and health, we thought you would enjoy seeing some photos of them all loved up 🥰 aren’t they adorable?! 😫

Baby bird season has officially hit and we are CHOCKAS!
As well as the juvenile Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, we have a fledgling magpie and a baby wattlebird and picked up two Wood Duck ducklings this morning!
Everyone is fed an appropriate, species-specific diet and we are lucky to once again be supported by the Woolworths and WIRES Food for Wildlife grant which helps us purchase the correct food for everyone 🙏

ADOPTED ✨
Who remembers the dumped bun that we took in a while back that had babies? Well not only has Juno (Mumma) found an amazing home, but one of the girls, Diana, has too!

She bonded so quickly with her new husbun/twin we knew immediately that she was going to love her new home.

Out of all those babies we only have Neptune & Apollo (bonded pair) and Aurora left now. If you’d be interested in giving them a home please feel free to reach out via messages or via our PetRescue page where you can find more info on the buns we have available!

ALL SORTED

*ASSISTED REHOMING*

Pippin (11M) and Tuppence (13F) need a new home. Not bonded as such, but Pips frets without Tupps.

Originally taken in to live with some other girls a couple of years ago, it's time to find a new home for them since Pips is starting to bully the other girls.

Tolerant of people, but not tame. They've been kept inside where they can come out and fly around, but I'm sure they'd be happy in an aviary.

Send us a message if you think you can provide these two a loving home and we can provide their current owners details 💞

Did you notice your clocks change last night? It’s officially Daylights Saving Time here in Tasmania today and you may have noticed your clocks go forward, stealing an hour of precious sleep from you all!

Anko, our resident Roo doesn’t much care about the clock change and was up expecting his breakfast at the usual time! ⏰☀️🐓

This is why we only adopt out as pairs unless their is a rabbit already in the home 🐰

Rabbits are social animals. They need the company of another rabbit, not just ours. 🐰

A bonded companion gives your rabbit someone to groom, snuggle up to, eat alongside, and simply spend time with. Rabbits kept with a compatible companion can show fewer signs of stress and more natural social behaviours than rabbits kept alone.

But bonding isn’t as simple as putting two rabbits together. Rabbits are territorial, so introductions need to be done carefully, with both rabbits neutered and plenty of time and patience. A good rescue can often help you find a suitable companion and support you through the bonding process.

If your rabbit is currently living alone, it’s never too late to find them a friend. 💚
