Save the Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre.

Whangarei, Northland

The Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre provides help, treatment and rehabilitation for injured and ill native birds so that they can be returned to the wild.

The centre’s diverse operations include

+ Rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating over 1200 birds each year.

+ Running birdlife education programmes.

+ Fostering environmental consciousness in Northland’s communities.

+ Educating local landowners on wild birds and care of their habitat.

+ Ongoing care of birds which cannot be released due to permanent injuries.

+ Providing advice on treatment of wild birds to other agencies such as veterinarians and zoos.

+ Providing free access to the bird recovery centre for the public.

A special part of the centre is the Elanco incubation veterinerary and education unit and Elanco kiwi pens, used to incubate eggs found in the wild, rearing chicks until ready to be released into the wild and also as a recovery area for injured kiwi.

The centre is run with the help of a small and dedicated band of volunteers and is the largest privately owned bird rehabilitation centre in Northland. The cost of running the facility is expensive and without funding the centre will be forced to close by mid April 2024.

PLEASE HELP SAVE THIS CENTRE.

Thank you for all the work you and your helpers have done over many years. When my now grown sons were small, they used to bring home various birds of various ages. Your patient and helpful advice saved most of them.
