As a wildlife carer it is distressing to see Sydney’s old native trees make way for development. 
 
A Fellow wildlife bird carer was called to a local vet to collect an egg and two day-old kookaburras rescued from a tree hollow that had been cut down.
 
The egg hatched on the way home and over the next month the nestlings were hand raised and eventually reunited with their family group.
 
This illustration follows their growth development.
