Had a lovely experience setting this little one (all 45g of him) free along Moonee Ponds Creek trail today. He decided to fall into a backyard pool in Gladstone Park a couple of weeks back, probably after hitting a pool fence, and miraculously hadn’t done too much damage. A couple of weeks cage rest and seeing as captivity wasn’t kind to his tail feathers, we got him back out there as quickly as possible. Don’t think I’ll ever be on the Sir David camera team but did love the close up vertical lift 😊❤️

Remember the little cygnet from Sanctuary Lakes that came in with shocking pneumonia? Yep - the one that we had a very very guarded prognosis on - well just look at little Crackles now. Crackles because our chest sounded full of pneumonic crackling when we came into care. We can tell you that despite all of us thinking that the odds were 80/20 and not in Crackles favour - this little cygnet proved a willingness to live that astounded everyone. Crackles is always likely to be a little swan as developmentally we were so far behind our sibling on coming into care but there is nothing wrong with being on the smaller side. We are slowly introducing Crackles to Beau - a cygnet that came in a few months back now via another carer (Mel - look how Beau has grown!). Beaus was found wandering the streets of Beaufort all alone as a 150g kid. Beau is still getting used to the idea of sharing the pool but before too long Crackles and Beau will be as thick as thieves ❤️😊
