Description
Ivy is 17 months old and resides at Eagles Heritage in Margaret River, Western Australia. Eagles Heritage was established in 1987 out of a need to provide homes for permanently disabled birds of prey and owls which had been handed in and cared for by volunteers, but which, due to the nature of their injuries, were unable to make a recovery sufficient for their return to the wild. The park opened its gates to the public for the first time on New Year's Day in 1998. The fauna you see on display at Eagles Heritage are permanently disabled rehabilitation patients, captive bred birds and individuals which have been transferred in from other facilities. Many more birds are rehabilitated and returned to the wild each year.
Away from the public view, seven acres at Eagles Heritage has been set aside for wildlife rehabilitation, including a hospital and specialised facilities designed to help sick, injured and orphaned raptors return to the wild. The centre provides training and support for volunteer wildlife rehabilitators who wish to work with these unique and amazing birds. Education opportunities are also available for animal health professionals and students seeking to expand their skills.

Lovely shot and artwork, Elaine. Voted. Funny, my Perth daughter and family went to the Eagles Heritage yesterday and saw Ivy. Said it was a really good show.
Elaine Teague replied:
Thanks Louise. It's a small world. I haven't been back, but probably will do. There's an excellent restaurant near there too, but can't recall the name of it.
