About the Author

Fiona is a wildlife rehabilitator in Western Australia with more than 30 years of experience, specialising in seabirds and waterbirds since 2016.  

She has had the privilege to care for many different species who otherwise may not have survived.  

Fiona is using her knowledge of wildlife, rehabilitation, and the environment, through her children’s storybooks, to engage and share her passion with those little people who will be the wildlife warriors of the future.  

Fiona is a wife, mum, and grandma who also has a clowder of cats (mostly hand-raised waifs brought to her doorstep).  She has had a 20-year career as a midwife/neonatal nurse, followed by 13 years as a geologist in the oil and gas industry before retiring from paid work in 2016. 

Her days are filled with caring for those special birds that end up in her care, with the hope of giving them a second chance at life.
