Early in the morning on July 7th, keepers found this little one in the nest box lying on their side, appearing weak, cold, and underweight. These parents are experienced and have successfully reared chicks in the past, so keepers were unsure why there appeared to be a lack of parental care for this individual. Due to their concerning condition, they were immediately removed from the habitat and brought down to our vet clinic where keepers began the process of warming them up and providing subcutaneous fluids. Several hours later, once they were warm and appeared slightly brighter, keepers began slowly syringe-feeding a nutrient-dense slurry made by mixing warm water with Harrison\u2019s Recovery formula powder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We still don&#8217;t know whether the baby is a male or female yet, so for the time being, they&#8217;ve been given the nickname: Lil Beeb.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet our youngest laughing kookaburra chick, currently being hand-reared by our animal staff at Safari West.
