Rescued! is the latest book title in a new wildlife series from Avocado Press, publishers of the bestselling range of Smarter than Jack animal books. The book is being produced specifically for fundraising purposes, to benefit individuals and organisations involved in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
Rescued! is the first book of its kind in describing and bringing attention to the unsung heroes of wild animal care – the wide range of wildlife rehabilitators throughout Australia and beyond who dedicate their lives to caring for wildanimals who become orphaned, injured or sick. Many people don’t realise how emotionally and financially draining this work can be, or that wildlife rehabilitators generally receive no government support.
"Rescued! enthrals readers with true stories of sick, injured and orphaned Australian native animals and the unsung heroes who are prepared to step in to help them in their time of need. These stories combine to not only demonstrate the magnificence of Australia’s wildlife but they carry a powerful message too – that every individual animal is unique and precious and that saving one animal is the stepping stone to saving an entire species. I encourage every Australian to read this book". Gail Gipp, Manager – Australian Wildlife Hospital
Rescued! is in a soft back format, with a collection of 43 true stories about the work of wildlife rehabilitators. The book will have colour illustrations and will include contributions from wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians and veterinary nurses who have a professional working role in animal care.
This beautiful book is rich with wisdom, inspiration, and sound advice. It is education with a smile and an invitation to open your heart to the unique animals all around us. It is a tribute to those brave and compassionate people all over this country who give their time, money and love so selflessly to help those creatures whose suffering would otherwise go unnoticed and whose cause would go unchampioned. Their stories are pure joy." Tania Duratovic - International Fund for Animal Welfare

Sample story:
Pelican 693
by Marny Bonner and Aaron Machado
Pelicans are predators, top predators. Since they are not preyed upon by anything, they have little fear. They are the labradors of the bird world, confident and docile. Once they’ve had their tucker for the day,about 7-800 grams of fish, it’s time to relax. Even when captured, they usually relax completely within minutes. Observers and trainee rescuers often comment, ‘They seem to know you’re trying to help them'.
When interacting with wildlife this is a risky thought to have. No matter how relaxed a wild creature appears to be when captured, it has only one thing in mind – escape. Relaxing is a ploy to that end; if it relaxes, the captor relaxes, which makes escape easier.
In the course of training people in the art of pelican rescue over the past 15 years, I always stress that, ‘Wild animals do not know you are trying to help them! If you let your guard down, you risk getting injured or losing the animal.’ News from South Australian Seabird Rescue (SASR), however, has caused some review.
SASR president Aaron Machado recently spent two weeks trying to capture a pelican that was badly entangled in fishing gear. The bird had been wing-tagged by Adelaide Zoo with the number 693, so Aaron knew that it was the very same pelican he had rescued and rehabilitated on six previous occasions.
‘I couldn’t believe it!’ Aaron said. ‘After I opened the door he just limped in, looking up at me as if to say, ‘Where have you been?’
Aaron examined the bird and realised he needed help. He sat the bird on the table and went to phone several volunteers for assistance. The pelican simply sat down and waited, so Aaron thought he may as well finish his dinner while he was waiting!
After the fishing gear was removed and his wounds were treated, the pelican enjoyed a night’s warm, dry accommodation and was released the next day. ‘Let’s hope this bird figures it out sooner rather than later!’Aaron added.
