“Last week we admitted this patient into our care from the team at Wildbase Hospital.
โฆa ruru/morepork found in Turakina [in the Whanganui region] who was treated for head trauma, ulcers in both eyes and necrosis to the right retina. This ruru is being assessed to make sure the damage to the retina is not affecting the birdโs vision. This ruru will be on display in our Ground Dweller aviary where our technicians have added in plenty of cover and browse for the ruru to hide in.”
Status: This ruru was released on the 8 Sep 2022 back in Turakina.
