Thank you for visiting the BIRO

(Birds Injured Rehabilitated and Orphaned)

website.

We are in the process of building a new website for 2012.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

If you have any enquiries, or are interested in becoming a member, please contact the BIRO president, Trixie – crowsinoz@yahoo.com.au

If you have found a bird and are seeking help with it, please keep the following in mind:-

1. Put it in a covered cardboard box (throw a towel over it) and place it in a quiet, darkened room away from noise (kids, radio, pets, TV etc.) while you call for help. This is important, as birds can die from stress!!!

Do not attempt to feed it, nor give it water until otherwise instructed.

2. Call for help. There is more to caring than meets the eye. With all of the best intentions in the world, your actions may harm the bird - so seek advice immediately on what to do in your case.

If in Queensland, call the RSPCA on 1300 ANIMAL (or 1300 264625) where an Operator will assist you. Elsewhere in Australia, contact the RSPCA via www.rspca.org.au/help/contact-us/, or call your local vet.

We hope to be fully functional early in 2012

Once again, apologies for any inconvenience
