Mitchell Shire has had a recorded case of H5 bird flu.

Please follow this advice for you, your pets and how to report sick or dead wildlife.

Reduce the spread:

🐦 Do not feed wild birds by hand or bird feeders

🧼 Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands and utensils after handling animals, eggs or raw meat

🐶 Keep pets away from wildlife, including preventing cats from roaming and keeping dogs on leads in wildlife areas

🥾 When going to and from national parks, reserves or farms, clean your footwear, clothing and vehicle to help prevent spreading diseases between places

🚫 If you come across sick or dead wildlife, do not touch it with your bare hands

To the driver who hit a female kangaroo on Hidden Valley Boulevard this morning:

You struck a mother kangaroo—leaving her suffering with what appear to be severe fractures—and drove off without a second thought. In the impact, her baby was ejected into the gutter.
I found this poor little joey left lying lifeless . It had a fighting chance at survival if you had taken just two minutes to pull over and report the accident .

We are fortunate to have dedicated wildlife carers right here in our community who give these creatures every chance to survive. Leaving a severely injured mother and her ejected joey in the gutter without calling it in is thoughtless, cruel, and completely unnecessary.
Thankfully we are continually monitoring the local wildlife here to ensure that their suffering is not prolonged by other’s inability to care.

To everyone driving through the valley:
Slow down and stay alert for wildlife along our roads.
Stop safely and check the pouch if you hit a roo
Call The Wildlife Rescuers Inc – 0417 506 941 – Melbourne – Rescuing wildlife in and around Melbourne
or a local rescue group immediately so an injured animal doesn't suffer in pain for hours.
Take responsibility, care enough to make the call, and give our native wildlife a chance.
To the wonderful Morgs and Lauren thank you for responding so quickly.

I think we understand the meaning after yesterdays downpour

Wallan, traditionally known as Wallan Wallan, is an Aboriginal term from the Woi-wurrung language, generally interpreted to mean a "circular place of water" or "a circular piece of ground covered with rain water". It refers to the historical wetlands and swamps in the area.
