Your Experience

Highlight of your trip
Found a young black red-tail cockatoo which had crash landed in the pine plantation south of Dwellingup. It did not know how to get mobile again. Made a parcel for it in my pack cover and raincoat - then onto Parks and Wildlife,then to the Pinjarra Vets. Last I heard the bird was at the rehabilitation section at the Perth Zoo, where it's been taught how to eat.
