"Bear" was in care for Botulism, he was very weak and the chances of survival  was very low. With two weeks of treatment in our intensive care unit the pelican was then transferred to our pre-release unit for a further week and then released back into his natural habitat.

These two pelicans were brought into care for a few weeks due to fishing tackle injuries to the wing and foot. They both spent a few days in our intensive care unit before being transferred to pre-release for rehabilitation.

 Australasian Gannet & Booby

The Gannet was in care for almost a year he was very weak and had poor muscle tone, with extensive treatment program including physiotherapy he took off beautifully heading south. The booby came into care very weak and with a broken beak, whilst in care the beak grew back. The booby was recaptured on the day of release as he could not get off the water to fly off. He has since been put on a strict diet and given physiotherapy to strengthen its wing power.
