Is this dove big enough to survive on its own or does it need care? I haven't seen any grown doves hanging around today but there have been plenty in the past. Thanks

This little guy came out of the bush to check for crumbs. Nice to see it.

A bit too used to humans and despite signs asking not to, some people were touching and feeding them

Such a cool bird I knew nothing about! Hope you enjoy the flicks

Old man Betty Blue is a rescue from 1995, estimated by the reptile vet specialist to be at least 10years old way back then. He is half blind and missing a toe, had been wounded, and the area he was found in was being totally cleared. Great thing was he healed well, loves to be pampered, hand fed and cuddled. He has been an educator, helping many school kids to realise how important our native wildlife is and how we can help them. He has had two major surgeries during Covid, just to make things extra hard, but he’s just as strong, handsome and amazing as always. Blue tongue skinks have always surprised and impressed me as one of the most fantastic creatures and companions - may we both grow old together forever my love

Lovely, average-sized red-bellied black warming up before some frog hunting.
