It's National Bilby Day!

These nocturnal little diggers are native to Australia's desert regions, spending their nights digging burrows and foraging for seeds and insects.

They're also surprisingly athletic, with strong back legs that let them jump up to 3 metres. Bilbies are listed as vulnerable in the wild, which is why we are part of the National Bilby Breeding Program in partnership with Save the Bilby Fund, helping build an insurance population to protect the species from extinction.

Come along and meet the Sanctuary's resident Bilbies in the Repturnal Den.

Marlin turns 25 today, which is a pretty impressive age for a Pelican!

You've probably seen him strut across the stage during the WildSkies bird show.

Wish Marlin a big happy birthday in the comments! 🥳🎉

We're big bird fans around here 👀🦜

Did you know Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary first opened in 1947 as the 'Currumbin Bird Sanctuary'?

While the Sanctuary has grown to become home to wildlife of all shapes and sizes, the love for birds goes right back to the very beginning 💛

Did you know Hibiscus flowers are a favourite snack for Radiated Tortoises?

These Tortoises tuck into Hibiscus as a treat, and it makes for a pretty good photo too.

Come down to the Sanctuary for the Radiated Tortoise Keeper Talk, daily at 11:20am, and find out how these Tortoises made the journey all the way from Madagascar to end up here.

Happy Father’s Day 💚

Did you know male Emus take on the important role of incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks after they hatch?

If you're visiting the Sanctuary this Father's Day, keep an eye out for father-and-son Emus Curly and Thunderbolt!

As Joeys grow, mums begin encouraging independence, an important stage in every young Koala's development. This one settled for the next best thing: mum's freshly vacated spot, one of the best forks in the tree. Koalas sleep up to 20 hours a day, so location matters.

Come along to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and see the Koalas for yourself. They may look sleepy, but hang around long enough and chances are you'll catch some action.
