Meet Larry, the Lorikeet.
Larry was hanging out at one of my open homes, he didn't give me his contact details and just walked through the house. But he seemed to be in a bit of discomfort, and not moving around too much or flying at all.
I opened up the trusty IFAW app, which connected me with a vet to help Larry. Lorikeets have been experiencing a higher than usual number of birds suffering from Paralysis Syndrome. Which, if detected early, can be easily treated and will hopefully ensure this young bird gets a full life.
IFAW is an App that using your maps, can direct you to the appropriate career for injured wildlife of all varieties anyway in Australia and certainly a very handy tool to ensure Larry got the right treatment. (Download it today!)
