Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

23/10/2026

From nestlings to release!
Remember our Little Pied Cormorant and White Ibis chicks? Look at them now! All grown up and released. We’re always happy with a successful story, especially raising species that come with a few difficulties such as easily imprinting and having such varied diets. WWO raises many different species of birds every year with the long term investment always being worth it when you get to see them displaying natural behaviours such as diving for food and positively interacting with their wild counterparts 😁
Good luck to all these birds and we hope we have helped you prepare to be successful in the wild 🤞

Another day another rescue (or two). On Friday WWO attended to this poor magpie that had twine badly wrapped around one of her feet, the other foot also had an abscess like growth. She is currently on fluids and antibiotics at our rescue centre.
Whilst driving on the way back our rescue team discovered some newly hatched Masked Lapwing chicks that were hunkered down in the middle of the road. This video shows they could be easily mistaken for some small stones or other waste on the road where a careless driver may run them over. Please be careful when driving and slow down around wildlife to avoid unnecessary deaths.

COMPASSION • CONSERVATION • COMMUNITY

21/09/2026

WWO has had a very busy month with young animals coming through the rescue centre. Our Cormorant chicks are starting to develop and have been upgraded to an outside enclosure where they are eating our yearly budget of fish in a few weeks!
Ducklings require a lot of food and we swear more comes out the other end than goes in!!
If you’d like to support us please remember to buy a ticket in the people first community lottery. With only $2 a ticket all the proceeds from this link goes to our rescue centres much needed funds!
Use the link below. Good luck 😊

Our Pied Cormorant chicks are coming along well, this week they have started picking up and eating fish by themselves, an important part of their development if they are to survive in the wild as adults.
It is imperative that we don’t imprint these kind of birds and having two instead of one helps to achieve this. Keep an eye on this space to see how well these little guys grow and develop!
Does anyone have some appropriate duo names for these cute little guys? 🥰

When you’re too cute that you have to be escorted off the premises!!
It’s definitely duckling season with WWO attending to more than 30 different ducklings over the last week alone!
It is generally a good rule to leave ducks and ducklings be alone, they will find their way. Only in specific instances it is ok to intervene, however usually there is no need to catch them and they can be ‘escorted’ to a safer location. Such as today when the WWO team helped herd them from the Victor Harbor shopping centre to a nearby creek and bushland.
If you’re unsure always call WWO on 0434114628 for advice.

What a huge and successful quiz night done and dusted!! Congrats to all the winners of raffles, the door prizes and of course the winning table!
WWO would like to thank all our amazing sponsors, volunteers and especially the team of organisers that made it all possible including our executive team, helpers and bar staff on the night.
We raised more than $5,600 for the night over the course of the night from ticket sales, raffle sales and the silent auction! Thanks again to everyone who contributed to such a big success for our humble wildlife rescue charity 😊
Don’t forget to attend our gala night in November to continue supporting our massive 40th year of rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife in South Australia. Keep an eye on our page for more details 😊

Whilst it’s the first week of Spring WWO have been into action and busy looking after baby animals for the last few weeks already. Whether orphaned or lost we have been raising a variety of birds in readiness for the warmer weather where we can release them, hoping for their best chance of survival. A huge shoutout to all the volunteers and WWO team that are feeding these birds 3, 4 or 5 times a day to keep them growing strong 💪
Also a bonus kangaroo joey (now with an experienced carer) for good measure 😊
