BirdCare Aotearoa wild bird hospital charity cares for around 6,000 rescued wild birds every year, including hundreds of orphaned baby birds. Our hospital primarily services the greater Auckland region, extending as far as Northland and the Waikato. We also provide phone support, advice and training to organisations and the public nationwide.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”primary”]Our dedicated team of wildlife rehabilitators, academic researchers and consulting vets ensures each bird receives expert care and rehabilitation. We rely on the support of a large team of dedicated volunteers to help run the centre, and engage with the community with education, advocacy and events.[/vc_column_text][st_image_grid images_per_row=”4″ thumbnail_quality=”high” images=”2939,2699,3012,2708″][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1718939656611{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1718939570524{border-radius: 5px !important;}”][st_button button_text=”Found a bird?” style=”outline” color=”light_green” alignment=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fshop.birdcareaotearoa.org.nz%2Fcontact%2F|title:What%20to%20do%20if%20you%20find%20an%20injured%20bird”][vc_column_text]Vet clinics, SPCA, DOC, Council, Watercare and other organisations rely on us to take in many of the wild birds they receive, on top of the high number we receive directly from the public. BirdCare Aotearoa assists all wild birds brought in and is fully DOC-permitted for endangered and at-risk species.
Our impact spans animal abuse investigations, environmental research, sampling for MPI, and education. Help us sustain these vital efforts. Your support will help us to save the lives of rescued wild birds, and contribute to conservation of NZ’s special birdlife.
Please donate to help our hospital save NZ’s treasured taonga birdlife.

Help us Fly!
Campaign to raise $300,000 to upgrade aviaries and facilities – Help recovered birds and fledgling chicks practice flying before release!
BirdCare Aotearoa is entirely funded by the generosity of donations and grants. We are currently fundraising for $300,000 to upgrade the centre’s aviaries and facilities, to help recovering birds and fledgling chicks practice flying ahead of their release back into the wild.
These upgrades and additions to our facilities will also cater for increasing admissions, and provide additional quarantine capacity, ensuring we can continue giving life-saving care to rescued birds in the event of a major disease outbreak.
