The Rescue Centre rescued 6 Barn Owl chicks from Auburn, SA, after their nest was destroyed by another tree falling onto it. They were in shock, cold and hungry when they arrived, but after a night in the incubator they bounced back with a vengence! You can follow their progress on our Facebook page.

Latest projects.
During the Covid 19 lockdown Glenn and I have demolished the old food preparation shed whilst the volunteers were not attending. A new shed was installed and we put in new shelving and sink cupboards. This improved facility will assist the volunteers to prepare the diets for the possums, bettongs, potoroo, gliders and birds in hygienic, air conditioned surroundings. We are so thrilled to have the volunteers coming back to enjoy the fruits of our labours!!😊

Minton Farm Animal Rescue Centre is a not for profit organisation providing a free community service to rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned native animals and birds brought to the Centre, located in Cherry Gardens SA.

Approx 300 orphaned and injured animals and birds are housed throughout 6 acres of onsite facilities. Minton Farm Native Animal Rescue Centre is owned and managed by Mrs. Bev Langley. Over 10,700 injured and orphaned creatures have been housed onsite that have been referred to the Centre by Councils, Cleland Wildlife, Adelaide Zoo and 18 Vets.

Our Mission

Volunteering helps Minton Farm.

$60,000 Circular bird of prey flight completed.
The first of its kind in South Australia, this facility will build raptor wing strength in preparation for its release back into the wild. A paddock has been levelled, retaining wall constructed and road base laid. Concrete piers support 24 steel columns with stainless steel threaded netting across the roof 6m high. Foundations are being poured for a plinth around the bottom edge of the flight, and then shadecloth walls will be attached in the coming weeks. Funds are being sought to construct the circular flight with a central column to encourage birds to fly around it with no end in sight. This will give the birds a greater fitness and better chance of survival once released.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTENSIONS!
2020 has seen the building of three enclosed flights attached to the outside of the Freedom Flight. These can house three different species of birds of prey at the same time. Each section will be given access to the circular flight at different times. This has improved the numbers of birds benefiting from the flight threefold!
