SES rescue Kookaburra
Mittagong, NSW SES team rescue Kookaburra from chimney
Our property is shared with at least one mob of Kookaburra who often engage in some serious, and very noisy, squabbles. Unfortunately one of these birds became trapped in a chimney shaft, the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) Wingecarribee Unit were called and effected a very professional rescue.
A WIRES wildlife rescue volunteer then provided a couple of days recuperation for the bird before it was released.
