The Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust is trying to raise $10,000 for an aviary for injured Kererū.
The WBRT has been operating a bird rehabilitation hospital located in 24 hectares of farmland in Ohariu, near Johnsonville, for many years,
It treats over 1,000 birds a year, taking in all types of native and non-native birds who have been injured or orphaned. This includes over 80 injured Kererū brought in annually by the community.
These big birds are much-loved and seen in increasing numbers in suburban areas, but unfortunately are often injured by cars, window strike, power lines, and by predators such as rats and stoats.

Kia ora Ngaio residents,

You may be aware of Wellington Water’s work to replace a fragile wastewater pipeline at Korimako Stream over the past few months. The condition of the pipeline worsened significantly due to severe rainfall earlier this year.

Tricky access to the site has meant that we have utilised a helicopter to transport materials and equipment to the site. The project is now in the final stages. Weather permitting, the next helicopter lift is planned for tomorrow morning, 11 November to remove material from site and install erosion protection rock bags. Some excess noise and short-term traffic disruptions can be expected while the helicopter is flying.

We appreciate your ongoing patience throughout the duration of this critical work.
