Our newest temporary addition....ANOTHER BABY ANIMAL !!!

[Traceyann]

Hey all, I would like to introduce "George" he is a Noisy Miner chick which my son found in the gutter about 3 weeks ago.....hey was only a day or so old ....we are raising him and hope fully ( fingers crossed ) he will fly away soon to join the local NM population here.

Noisy Miners are native to Australia, but the local wildlife services didnt wat to know about this lil chick, so hopefully we can get him to fly home soon.....Its about 2 weeks old in this pic

I am sure Andrew is an animal magnet.....we were sitting in our loungeroom and he saw a Butcher bird having a go at something in the tree.....well have a look what he found ...its a baby Sugar Glider, quite rare these lil ones ....so I was told.....this lil one has been handed over to a wild life carer as I just dont have the hours in the day to care for another baby animal .....so so cute tho

Oh my goodness what a PERFECT name. I'm so glad he ended up with you and your family, good on you for being so kindhearted, he's a sweetie.

 

[Hazel]

That's wonderful that your son rescued George. He must be a very kind hearted boy. He may never fly away home. He might consider your place his "home" from now on. :wink:

 

[Traceyann]

Thanks Girls, and yes Andrew is very good with animals, I am trying to steer him towards a career as a vet ( I just think he has that knack ) .

I certainly DO hope that George flys to a home in the trees as he is sooooo NOISY lol....but so so sweet, especially when he sits on your shoulder and pecks your earing lol....

 

[Pretty n Plain]

Sounds to me like George has decided where he's going to live lol

 

[Relle]

Cute, he looks to be the native one and not the indian introduced one. I noticed some soap in the background. Definately encourage your son to be a vet, he'll save you a lot of fees for those pigs of yours and keep you in soap in your old age.

 

[Soapy Gurl]

Wow, he is cute. I have never even seen a picture of one.

 

[Traceyann]

Yes George is a native Noisy Miner ( to Australia) not the introduced one....and a hungry one at that.

Relle, the basket is in my lounge room and my girlfriends just take some when they need it..

He's cute! Tell your son thank you.

 

[Sunny]

ohhhh I love him! So pretty!

Any time Relle.....

Oh and check out the new pic .....its on the first post so so cute ....

 

[Dragonkaz]

Two beautiful animals ... you and your family sound like a great gift to the animal world!

 

[Lindy]

They are so sweet!!! If the Miner is sitting on your should playing with your earring I'm thinking you have a new forever pet....

It does truly sound like your son has a calling - I hope he follows it - he would be such an asset as a vet.

 

[Fullamoon]

He's beautiful, and so lucky you are caring for him!

The title of this post was guaranteed to make me look.

Then I saw the photo and thought "hey, that's not a bird".

They're only rare here in their native land Traceyann. Much to my dismay, they are kept as pets OS.

Very cute baby.

:wink:

PS: just read that they are native to Indonesia as well.

 

[Relle]

Cute, I think we also have a neon light on our house for animals to come to our house to get looked after or rehomed.

That makes me sad - our native animals (that we are not allowed to have as pets) on Craigslist.
