Native Bird Rescue Charitable Trust

Our purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate, release, research, educate, and advocate for fully protected native and endemic birds. We: 1. Provide expert care and rehabilitation for sick, injured, and orphaned birds, giving them the best chance to return to the wild. 2. Maintain high standards of avian care with quality facilities, equipment, and ongoing staff and volunteer training. 3. Foster love, connection, and behavioural change through our Community Wildlife Connections programme, where bird rescuers follow the healing journey of the birds they saved—motivating positive conservation action. 4. Provide meaningful volunteer opportunities for all, including marginalised community members, building skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging while connecting people with wildlife and nature. 5. Inspire lifelong respect and stewardship for native birds through education and outreach, contributing to a community that values wildlife and honours the Māori principles that protect it.
