"Kind and caring"

Well informed, kind, and caring people. Went out of their way to help. I like the fact they recognise that not every animal or bird can be saved, and that’s challenging for the person who found the poor thing.

"Baby possum needed urgent hrlp"

Found a baby possum that needed help and after trying to contact numerous wildlife fauna rescue groups with no success, contacted SOWFI. They answered straight away and were extremely helpful and very willing to assist. Can’t thank them enough and highly recommend if you need someone to help our poor injured wildlife. Thank you

"Rescued an injured magpie"

We found an injured magpie on Christmas eve and desperately needed help for the heat affected, injured and scared bird. Because it was Christmas eve the wildlife people we spoke to were unable to help us and couldn't refer us to any vets in our local area.
We finally called the Salisbury vets who referred us to the Animal critical care hospital in Kurralta Park, who were able to help. We were in Kersbrook at the time, and it was 4pm in the afternoon, so we drove for an hour with the injured magpie to drop him/her off for urgent medical care.
We had called 3 wildlife rescue centres/advice centres before speaking to the Salisbury vets and not one could help due to it being Christmas eve.
The lady we spoke to wasn't from our state and was lovely but couldn't help us and I couldn't live with myself if the magpie had to suffer.
Hopefully with more donations and funds there could be a service with vet care 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

"Amazing dedicated compassionate volunteers…"

Amazing dedicated compassionate people at SOWFI. I found a Baby Lorikeet at a busy Train Station. It looked healthy but couldn't fly yet. I took it to my local vet who suggested I return it to the area. The poor creature would not have survived a busy railway station not to mention Minor birds that were ready to pounce. I called the lovely dedicated volunteers at SOWFI who posted the request to their wildlife carers. Later that morning I received a call from Jacob who was so nice. We arranged to meet and hand over the baby Lorikeet. I later received an update that the little bird was doing really well and healthy and now had a name. It was a heart-warming experience. I can't speak highly enough about this organisation. They are amazing.

"Fledgling owl…"

I found a fledgling owl in my front yard that was being attacked by other birds. I caught it with a towel and rang these guys. They sent someone around to collect the beautiful owl to take it to a specialist vet. Awesome service!!!!

"Helpful and knowledgeable"

I spoke with three members regarding baby birds that had fallen out of their nest. All members were helpful and knowledgeable and I was able to help the birds to be safe and continue to be fed by their parents. Thank you!

"Highly recommend"

Jane was extremely helpful and put our minds at ease when we called about a little Galah.

Very prompt and I appreciated all the knowledge she provided.

Thank you so much

Huge thank you for being available near midnight and giving us so much advice and help including the address for the nearest 24/7 hospital and how to transport an injured possum. Thank you for your simple phone number and very prompt response. Can’t thank you enough.
