Movie fundraiser for saving wild birds!

Kim Frakes from BirdCare Aotearoa

BirdCare Aotearoa and our friends at Hollywood Avondale cinema are screening Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963)!
Sunday 10th Nov, 6.30pm

This classic horror-thriller film was selected for our fundraiser, as Hitchcock explained that the events at Bodega Bay unfolded because humans took nature for granted, and this continues to be a timely reminder for us all to care for nature. The Birds will feature after a short trailer about BirdCare Aotearoa, and the evening is also a chance for you to meet our team.

All funds raised will support our renowned wild bird hospital and rehabilitation centre, where heroes like you bring in up to 100 sick, injured or orphaned birds a day! We are a charity, operating on donations and grants, so thank you for supporting us!

The Hollywood Avondale is renowned as a "Free spirit in the cinematic world," and this historic cinema palace is the perfect setting for this fundraiser screening.

Bird lovers, classic film enthusiasts, horror fans, and historians, please share this invitation with friends, family and colleagues, and book your seats today!
