Kia ora neighbours, New Zealand’s largest wildlife hospital and rehabilitation centre is appealing for public support as they prepare for
an influx of baby birds.

BirdCare Aotearoa is a registered charity dedicated to caring for sick, injured and orphaned wild birds.

Over 6,000 birds are delivered to their centre in Green Bay, Auckland every year.

The centre’s admissions have been steadily increasing, with a 20% increase in admissions this year.

“Barely two weeks into spring, we’ve already admitted over 150 ducklings as well as a few other chicks including an orphaned pūkeko and a tiny ōi (grey-faced petrel),” says General Manager, Dr Lynn Miller.

“The bulk of our financial support comes through the front door – donations from very kind and generous people in the community who have rescued birds, supplemented by community grants,” says Fundraising and Development Coordinator, Bianka Atlas.

“We’re in the wake of a particularly challenging couple of years and are feeling the pinch."

The charity has launched a two-week crowdfunding campaign (click the link below), and hope to raise $15,000 to help cover food, essential medication and housing.
