Trowunna a sanctuary for many animals

White Goshawk story
At Trowunna we have a white goshawk that would never survive in the wild. She can fly about 20 metres and she can leave her enclosure.
She "tree hops" from the top of the park to the bottom end where she has a nest. Every second year she breeds with a wild male that is often visiting the park and produces a couple of young. She "tree hops" back to her enclosure when she needs to be fed.
Goshawks are low in numbers, so not only is she having the best possible life for an injured bird she is contributing to her species.

The Black Cockatoo story
In 2003 a black cockatoo was found with an injured wing. The wing was so badly damaged that it was later removed, he will never fly. We called him "Ee-ar".
We have him in a large bird cage with an open roof and branches leading up to a tree.
On nice days Ee-ar explores the trees above the bird enclosures. Near Trowunna there are black cockatoos naturally occurring and they come to visit the park on a regular basis. Ee-ar loves to have house guesses!

The Wedge Tailed Eagles story
Two beautiful eagles came to the park after being shot in the wing. Can't imagine why any one would want to harm such a majestic bird. Once again Trowunna Wildlife Park had to work out what would be the best possible quality of life could be given to these victims of human stupidity .
In the wild an eagle would sit in a high tree with slightly larger trees around as a wind break. The Trowunna enclosure was build with a tree cut short so the eagles could jump up to it. Larger tree surround the enclosure as a wind break and the enclosure was built on the top of a hill, so the eagles have a view of the whole valley next to the park.
