An unusual request for fellow birders.
I am involved with Wildlife care and we are looking for any birders that are travelling from
The Whitsundays area to Cairns in the next few weeks – as per the email below.
Thanks to Cyclone Yasi, I have 3 Torresian Pigeons in care needing transport
to Cairns.
I am in the Whitsundays and would normally release the pigeons here, ready
to migrate with the wild birds north. However there is a lack of wild food
stocks in the cyclone affected area. I believe successful release will be
hampered as there will be nowhere for them to stop off for a feed half way
to Cairns, so feel now that it is best to send to bird carers in Cairns to
be released with others they have in care. I have spoken someone in Cairns
and they are happy to take the birds in. I am loathe to send via regular transport companies.
Please let me know if you know of anyone who can help.
Regards
Carol Abbott
