Koala in Street Tree Rogers Reserve Highfields

 29th October 2023

🐨Koala “Kylie” was not keen on being rescued after she ran through a busy petrol station on sunday morning! She then crossed a busy road and took refuge in a street tree on a very busy corner 🙄 Thankfully she eventually complied and we got her to safety.
🙏Thanks to those who offered help especially Greg from Parks and Wildlife Twmba and the lovely Petr for staying with the koala to make sure she was safe while we arrived! This one little feisty koala took 3 of us to get her down!

Funny Butcherbird Bird Call Post by Scot McPhie from Bird Bites:

Scot McPhie

I recorded the bird call in Roger's Reserve - I just think the whole thing is hillarious (and wonderful) 🙂 This is wonderful- anyone else heard a bird call that reminds them of something? (Also if you don't think it's a butcherbird please let me know) - Scot McPhie
