Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust

We are a totally unfunded bird charity that takes in orphaned, sick & injured birds for care and where possible release back to the wild.

Wellington

Here at Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust we provide care for all birds in need, including native and non-native species alike. We treat and care for a wide spectrum of birds a year. Every bird has a story to tell and a life that is worth saving, here we intend to ensure the best possible outcome for all our feathered friends.

We provide treatment, rehabilitation and refuge to over 1000 birds each year. We accept in any bird in any condition ranging from the orphaned, sick and injured to casualties of man-made pollution and toxic spillages.

We routinely collaborate with animal welfare networks, groups and facilities to further our cause and enhance our knowledge and skills with wildlife rehabilitation.

We rely heavily on the support and good will of others as we are totally unfunded and privately run, we graciously accept and utilise public donations to keep our facility in operation. With the support we receive from donors we are able to continue our mission of keeping the birds happy, healthy and free.

Thankyou for your generosity!

Hi there, I’ll be dropping of a mallard duckling tomorrow- “Boots” - and I want to support you in your work long term. I might be able to volunteer in the future (I’m unwell at the moment) but I know money is needed most of all. Thank you for all you do, and I’ll tell friends and family about the plant sales too.

Thank you for accepting our Tui rescue last week. Although he didn't make due to his injuries, it was comforting to know that he was well cared for towards the end and passed peacefully. Incredibly grateful. Karen Grice xx

Hi Karen, thanks so much for your donation! We don't always get the desired outcomes when a caring person brings a bird to us but we will always try and we know that this beautiful Tui passed cared for and pain free rather than laying in a gutter or similar. Thanks for being part of the team effort to care for avian wildlife :-) Kind Regards Craig
