Grey warbler/riroriro - usually heard and not seen

The grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) has been my white whale. A goal chased, but notoriously difficult to obtain (for me anyway).

A goal chased, but notoriously difficult to obtain (for me anyway). They are common birds, that we have all heard warbling away through summer, but they like to hang out in dense vegetation, they are tiny (surprisingly so given how loud their song is), and when they do appear they seldom stay still long enough for me to focus.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Champ

Hello, Neighbourly friends! My name is Champ. I am a sweet boy that loves to play and enjoys cuddles. I have made friends with everyone here at the SPCA and would love to settle into my forever home.
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
I listen well. I know my name and have an understanding of basic training, I feel I can be trained further with the right owner. I am very eager to please.

I love cuddles and the presence of people and dogs. Although, I can feel insecure in new situations and in unfamiliar places. Once I experience more of the world, I will become more confident. I wouldn't mind having another dog to play with and don't seem to be bothered by cats, I mostly want to say hi and try and play! Because I can be unsure in certain situations, it is best that I live with older children, teens or adults that are experienced with handling and playing with dogs.

Of course, I am one of a kind! I have a slightly abnormal hindlimb conformation which is likely due to genetics. This doesn't cause me any issues, however is something a new owner needs to be aware of as it may mean I don't live as long as most other dogs.

Any serious adopter is encouraged to discuss this with one of the vet team to fully understand my medical history. Any new home would be lucky to have me, I do hope people don't overlook me because of this. If you think that you're the right home for me, contact the canine team!
