Look what
the wind blew in! Too cute for their own good.

| Bib and Bub baby cormorants, weighed only 260 and 350gms when first arrived at ASR. |
Actually
these baby cormorants have had a rough start in life. Their nest with them in it
was blown out of a tree at the Sydney Olympic Park during gale force winds.
Unable to return the nest up the tree, ground keepers took the babies to the
Homebush Exotic Animal Hospital who in turn transported them to Australian
Seabird Rescue in Wollongong.
Weighing a
tiny 260 and 350gms they are now being spoilt and have doubled in size and
weight. Luckily they avoided injury in the fall other than a scratch on the head
of Bub. On maturity they have the most beautiful green eyes. Although mainly a
fresh water bird they are also found in Indonesia and New Zealand.

Our
co-ordinator Kirsten what to be present when this 69 year old wrinkled body
gets in the water to teach them to fish. Guess what! I love them but that isn’t
going to happen.
Betty.
