wild life rescue

Our friends in the local area, Ron and June, run a voluntary wild life shelter. June seems to be always nursing some baby kangaroo, having to feed every 4 hours (yes it means very little sleep!) They own several little dogs too, and look after emus, wallabies, kangaroos, corellas, cockatiels, cockatoos, and any other animal who needs fostering! And June has another job she works at, making up the lovely natural potions and lotions at Lavandula the Lavender Farm. Not only that, her home is always absolutely spotless, and Ron's enclosures and paddocks are incredibly well kept. At the moment, little Pixie the baby kangaroo lives indoors with them. She has the most gorgeous eyes and the cutest face, and she hops around following June everywhere.

Last weekend, when we were away exhibiting in Sydney for the Yoga Expo, Ron came to feed the feathered menagerie for us. He's amazing with birds. His latest project is a Corella (so sweet!) who broke its leg in a car accident, and Gorgeous the Cockatoo who was very ill, rundown and dirty when Ron found it. Seemed so tame that we all thought it must have escaped from a domestic situation, but gave Ron a nasty bite when it was being bathed. All was forgiven, as Gorgeous must have been so scared.. never had a bath in his life!
