It is a beautiful cloudy morning as I arrive at
the Sanctuary to do my volunteer work, the birds are singing and the air smells
of eucalyptus.
My first job of the day is to collect fresh branches for the
possums and birds from the forest area of Possum Valley. As I wander through
the trees I spot something moving in the distance, a mob of 6 kangaroos are out
foraging! What a treat to see.
Now on to my favourite part, seeing my possum
and bird friends. The old branches need to be taken out to make way for the
fresh ones. As I start to make some noise, Blossom pokes her head out of her box
to investigate the ruckus. I offer her a tasty bottlebrush flower which she
gobbles up happily. Next is to sweep the floors and change the water.
I visit
Simpson the magpie, Bernard the bandicoot, and Pinkie the parrot for their
weekly clean too. Bernard and Simpson love some fresh dirt to scavenge some
tasty bugs from, and Pinkie loves some native flowers like the possums.
Walter
the possum is my final clean of the day, he is usually sleeping just above the
doorway. He is such a laid back and relaxed little guy.
Now before I leave, it
is time to visit the donkeys, lambs and anyone else who would like a scratch!
Now to head home, knowing that everyone is happy and clean.
