Taronga Talks

Rehab and Release with Libby Hall

Hayden Turner Season 1 Episode 3

The ocean was her first love… the salt, the spray, the waves. When her cat dragged a tiny naked bird into her home one day, Libby Hall fell in love again. Protecting and caring for injured wildlife, watching them grow stronger and releasing them back into their habitats became her life’s calling. As Manager of Taronga’s Wildlife Hospital, Libby shares raw glimpses into the trials and triumphs of life on the edge of tragedy, the hope of rehabilitation and the catharsis of release.   

 "Taronga is a constant source of inspiration. The people that work there are my family. The animals that live there… every day I see them and think, ‘WOW, they’re just so amazing!’ When you get to know them, their personalities and how they interact with the other animals… they just still fill me with wonder."
