BirdCare Aotearoa is a wild bird hospital and rehabilitation centre at 74 Avonleigh Road in Green Bay, West Auckland. It is a registered charity with Department of Conservation permission to treat endangered and at-risk native birds. It takes in sick, injured and orphaned native birds, mainly from greater Auckland, and also responds to rescues from Northland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty. The website says it is New Zealand's largest wild bird hospital and rehabilitation centre. It also gives phone advice and training to the public, conservation groups, vets and interns.
Birds are usually brought in by members of the public, and the centre also responds to rescues from DOC, Auckland Council and Watercare. Volunteers help with bird care, cleaning, admin, building and maintenance, and the website asks for volunteers who are over 18, in Auckland, and free for at least one five-hour shift a week. Donations and recurring support are welcomed, and the centre's online shop sells work from partner artists and jewellers. Phone 027 816 9219 or email reception@birdcareaotearoa.org.nz.
