Arohanui! This nursery mahi (work) is incredibly challenging, and involves the art of hand-rearing and feeding orphaned baby birds, often during long 12-hour days. We have such a dedicated nursery team, and they need our support!

Are you keen to take up a challenge to support the baby birds? Invite your club, school or work mates to join you, and Move for Good!

Sign up for a walk, run, swim, cycle, or fun outdoor challenge – and ask your friends and family to sponsor you. Be a Toa Tiaki Manu (champion of the birds) for BirdCare!

Move for Good is proudly supported by Allbirds and Tree Adventures, and all registered champions go in the draw to win your own eco-friendly Allbirds sneakers or a Tree Adventures double pass (prize draw 31 March 2025)!

In recognition of your efforts, champions who complete their challenge will receive an eco-friendly, locally-crafted medal! The school with the most champions wins a Rimu trophy!

Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds Film Fundraiser

10th November 6.30pm at The Hollywood Avondale

This classic nature-horror (PG13) is a timely reminder for all of us to care for Te Taiao nature. Hitchcock later explained that the bird attacks in the film were due to humanity’s failure to appreciate and protect nature. The proceeds from the tickets will help our hospital rehabilitate bird patients during our bustling baby bird season![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The global increase in extreme weather events due to the climate crisis means Aotearoa will not be immune to its impacts. Much has been done to prepare for events impacting people, their pets, and the agricultural animals around us. But how will our precious wildlife fare? This event, which is part of the Auckland Climate Festival, will explore the issues, resources, and possible outcomes for some of our most vulnerable avifauna.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][st_single_image size=”full_height_img” style=”rounded” image_id=”2104″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bottom_margin=”medium” equal_height=”yes” disable_element=”yes” el_class=”get_involved_info_row”][vc_column width=”1/2″][st_single_image size=”full_height_img” style=”rounded” image_id=”1106″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ el_class=”text_col”][st_heading heading_text=”UGFzdCUyMEV2ZW50JTNBJTIwQmFieSUyMFNob3dlcg==” style=”short_underline”][vc_column_text]24th October 2021
