    We are now DOC permitted!

    We are excited to share that Flock Birdcare Wellington is now officially DOC permitted. This means we can accept native birds into care under our permit conditions.

    Our permit covers tūī, pīwakawaka (fantails), tauhou (silvereyes), and riroriro (grey warblers). The one exception is kererū, which we cannot take until we complete our purpose built 4x2m flight aviary.

    This makes Flock the only DOC permitted bird hospital in Wellington outside of the Zoo. Run and funded entirely by volunteers and donations, this milestone would not have been possible without your support.

    Every donation to this page helps us take the next step, building the aviary so we can also accept kererū into care.

    Ngā mihi nui for helping us make this happen

    We’re so close to making our dream a reality! 🌿 Flock Birdcare Wellington has had our DOC site inspection, and the last step before we can care for native species like kererū and tūī is building a 3x2m predator-proof flight aviary. This aviary will give recovering birds the flight training and space they need to regain their strength before release.
