The 5 days spent
volunteering at the Wildlife Hospital are filled with many beautiful memories.
The list could be endless. At this stage I want to share with you some of the
highlights of my Wildlife Warrior experience. Cleaning the enclosures of sick
and injured koalas. Every day each single enclosure is cleaned from top
to bottom thoroughly. A daily routine work wich included scrubbing and washing
the floor and the brunches from the dirt, as well as filling the pots with
fresh water, leafing in and out, etc.
Feeding Koalas
was, among other things, the most exciting experience. You need to learn some
basic skill of how to do it properly but it is not difficult at all. However
feeding koalas is not as eay as it may sound, koalas, like human beings, have
their own character, moods and approach, some koalas are keen on their daily
paste, some others simply hate it. So as a novice warrior I only had to feed
the “good ones” and I had the honour of feeding the koala patient Warren for a
few days, as you can see from the pictures below, I really enjoyed it and
Warrend did it too
