A Perfect Day for. Swan Release
Most satisfying day of all is to see these beauties released- so relaxed and happy knowing they are safe where they should be. FAWNA cares for all wildlife and our organization takes pride in continuously developing improved protocols for the rescue, care and wild release of all wildlife. Last year we rescued and cared for 401 Cygnets, there were no available standards or protocols to refer to. This year we are carefully measuring weight on admission and release and monitoring the conditions of the Cygnets feet which are prone to injury from walking on hot and rough man made surfaces. We are also very interested in collab with local authorities to devise methods of maintaining water levels in swan breeding and nursery habitats to prevent the need for Cygnets to come into care in the first place - with over 250 birds coming into care already this season the situation for Wildlife Welfare groups is very difficult and expensive.
FAWNA’s Cygnet Enclosure is in Ludlow at our Flight Academy. New volunteers are always welcome and we are grateful for any donations .
If you see abandoned Cygnets please call our wildlife emergency number on 0438 526 660

We love the community effort that has helped us save so many immature swans this summer. An experience Sadie will remember for ever 🙏💚
Just beautiful to sit and watch these young swans #fawna #wildlivesmatter #nature #wild #joy
🌅 Witness a journey of hope and healing as we celebrate the triumphant return of “Wonnerup,” a majestic wedge-tailed eagle, to his natural habitat after receiving incredible care at the Perth Wildlife Hospital. 🦅
Wonnerup is on the path to regaining his strength, and it’s all thanks to an extraordinary community effort. His journey back to the wild, near Fawna Flight Academy, symbolizes the power of collective action and compassion for wildlife in need.
Caring for wildlife isn’t a solo act; it’s a symphony of kindness and dedication. From the skilled hands of veterinarians and the steadfast support of volunteers to the generous donations of individuals, this sector thrives on philanthropy and heart. Sadly, much of this vital work remains underreported, yet it is essential for providing a second chance at life for countless creatures like Wonnerup.
Let’s amplify the importance of wildlife rehabilitation and show our support for this crucial cause. Together, we can make a difference and ensure these magnificent beings continue to soar. Thank you for being a beacon of hope! 💚✨

🌡️ When the heat is relentless, even the quiet ones need relief 💧
This is one of our precious Western Ringtail Possums, currently under care at our Possum Conditioning School here in Western Australia.
Today, the temperatures soared — the kind of heat that presses down on bushland, hollows and treetops alike. For wildlife, there’s no switch to flick, no air-conditioning to escape to. Survival becomes about finding shade… and finding water.
Inside their enclosure, this little ringtail discovered the gentle relief of a cool water mister. You can almost see the tension ease as fine droplets settle on fur that’s built for the canopy, not extreme heat. A small comfort — but one that can make all the difference on days like this.
💚 Western Ringtail Possums are critically endangered. Every individual matters. Every moment of care counts.
As climate extremes become more common, wildlife carers are adapting in real time — cooling enclosures, monitoring stress, and doing everything possible to give our native animals the best chance to recover and return home.
If you’re feeling the heat today, imagine living through it without shelter or water — and consider leaving a shallow dish of water in your garden, or supporting the people on the ground who step in when nature needs a helping hand.
🐾 Because compassion isn’t loud — it’s consistent.
