They come for the animals—but stay for the people. In every aviary, kitchen shift, and wildlife call, bonds are quietly forged. This week, our dedicated volunteer writer Howard Priestley talks to Fiona Smith about what it means to feel part of something bigger—where care extends beyond wildlife to the humans who walk beside them.

There’s a certain kind of person who volunteers at Mandurah Wildlife. They’re not in it for the glory, the social media content, or the chance to bottle-feed a baby kangaroo—though, yes, sometimes that does happen (and it’s as heart-melting as you imagine). The community here is built on that kind of quiet magic. It’s a wild mix of personalities—nurturers, problem-solvers, deep-thinkers, practical geniuses—and somehow, it works.

At Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, we receive an array of native wildlife in need of care. They come to us vulnerable, dependent, and at risk of becoming too accustomed to humans.

Goodwill is a rare and invaluable resource—one that Mandurah Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (MWRC) depends on entirely to save and heal injured wildlife before returning them to the wild. Without the generosity of volunteers, donors, and sponsors, this life-saving work simply wouldn’t be possible.

We’re excited to share some wonderful news about our adorable ducklings! They’ve been thriving in our care, growing rapidly, and adapting well to their new environment. These little ones are eating well and keeping our volunteers on their toes with their playful antics—and let’s just say, they’re pooping a lot too!

Hey, Mandurah! As you all know, our beautiful region is brimming with incredible wildlife and stunning natural landscapes just waiting to be explored. But what if you could dive even deeper into the wonders of nature from your couch too? That’s right—through the pages of a great book!
