NEVILLE'S STORY

This guy came to us in urgent need of help, after flying into a truck!  Neville only has one wing and needed life-saving surgery, so he can't be released back into the wild.  He is now living a comfortable, happy life at Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue as one of our Animal Ambassadors team.
