My brother Len is a real wildlife warrior. For the past 20 years he has selflessly devoted his time and money to the caring of injured and orphaned birds of all types.
He started BIRO (Birds Injured Rehabilitated Orphaned Association) many years a go and found a band of loyal helpers to assist him in his quest.
He nurses about 800 birds a year and happily shares his knowledge with whoever will listen.
Congratulations go to him for being nominated for The Courier Mail and The Sunday Mail's Pride of Australia medal.
He deserves it as over the years he has put every spare dollar he's had into looking after our wildlife, even to the extent that he lets go the maintainence on his own home so he can better provide for these poor birds. Though he is greatly respected by those who also care about animals and many support his efforts if they can, few people really know how much Len sacrifices in order to do what he does. He's a real credit to the world and I'm proud of him.
