Meet Peter! 🌈🦜
This young rainbow lorikeet was suspected to have fallen from his nest before arriving at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. 🥹
Upon examination, our veterinary team discovered a fractured wing, along with metabolic bone disease, which had weakened his developing bones.
Thankfully, Peter has been stabilised and will spend time with a dedicated wildlife carer, where he can rest, recover, and continue his rehabilitation. 💚
These vibrant and charismatic parrots are among the most common patients treated at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, and we just love them!
