When it comes to wildlife rehabilitation one of the biggest expenses is food, in some cases it costs more to feed an animal whilst in the clinic than it does to treat it for its injuries. In addition, many of the animals that are admitted to rehabilitation centres aren't injured. They have lost there parents or been taken in as pets and need to be prepared for life back in the wild.
With your donations, you have helped to keep ReWild Rehabilitation Centres patients and 'tenants' tummys full whilst they are getting ready to be returned to the wild. There have been so many individuals through the clinic since we began this campaign, but the story of a Hadeda Ibis that was admitted to the centre about two months ago is one that we would like to share with you as it was such an unusual case.
After a month of treatment, detox and getting his strength back he was ready for some time in the outdoor aviary. A couple of weeks in the aviary and he was ready to go home. At release he wasted no time getting airborne and flying up to perch in a nearby tree. He was back home fit and strong once again to live his life back where he belongs, in the wild!
