Here Now
"Only the best for our birds" - rescue centre's credo
Tucked away in west Auckland, a bird rescue centre has been attracting people with experience from around the world keen to help rescue injured NZ avians.
Perched on a hill in West Auckland, BirdCare Aotearoa receives and treats nearly 6000 birds every year - native and non-native species.
Of late, the talent BirdCare has been attracting has been increasingly international - from Chile, to South Africa and the UK. In this episode of Here Now, we're looking into what their experience has been like when it comes to working hands-on with animals in New Zealand.
BirdCare's work with Cook's Petrels featured in an episode of Our Changing World last year.
