Key Points
- Kapag may wildlife o hayop na nakita sa loob o paligid ng bahay, bigyan ito ng sapat na espasyo at ilayo ang mga alaga at bata.
- Kung kinakailangan, humingi ng tulong sa eksperto mula sa lokal na wildlife rescue group o sa inyong local council.
- Ang pag-aalaga ng natural na tirahan para sa mga hayop sa paligid ng bahay ay hindi lang nakakatulong sa kanila, mabuti rin ito para sa kalusugan ng tao.
Normal na bahagi ng pamumuhay sa Australia ang makasalubong ng wildlife. Minsan may palakang puno sa banyo, possum sa bubong, o wombat na naghuhukay sa ilalim ng bahay, karaniwan silang naaakit sa mga bahay kapag naghahanap ng tubig, pagkain, o masisilungan.

First, give the animal some space. Don’t try to pick them up or touch them, and be sure to keep any pets or children away. Second, call an expert who can give you some advice over the phone or send someone to come help.Dr Jacinta Humphrey
Makigpag-tulungan din sila sa local wildlife rescue organisation o humingi ng saklolo sa local council.

The most dangerous wildlife to be aware of are venomous snakes, large kangaroos, large birds known as cassowaries, and some kinds of spiders. As a general rule, patting, touching or holding wildlife is best avoided. Even a possum can give quite a scratch.Ecologist Tanya Loos

As tempting as it may be, do not feed wildlife. Instead, install a bird bath which are enjoyed by all sorts of different animals and absolutely vital during heat waves.Ecologist Tanya Loos
