Common Questions...
Q: What would be your most common rescue? A: Possums and Birds stuck down chimneys are the most common rescues Nigel's Animal Rescue perform. Brush Tail Possums tend to get stuck after assuming they can gain access to the ceiling via the chimney. Indian Minor Birds tend to use the chimney as a hollow to build their nest in.
Q: What would be your most unusual rescue? A: Nigel's Animal Rescue attend many strange rescue situations such as a Wombat trapped down a mine shaft and a horse in a swimming pool. Our most involved rescue would have to be that of a Lace Monitor (a large native lizard) which was stuck up a power pole. For safety we had to get the power company to turn the power off while we rescued the animal with a cherry picker.
