How you can help

There are many ways you can make a difference in the lives of Aotearoa's wild birds. We believe that everyone has something unique to offer. If you would like to get involved in any of the activities below, or if you have other ideas about how to contribute, we would love to hear from you.

At BirdCare Aotearoa, our small hospital team relies on the support of our wonderful team of volunteers to help us care for the 6,000+ rescued wild birds who come through our doors every year.

Opportunities to choose from range from hands-on bird care to reception, administration, fundraising, running errands, gardening, and maintenance. Our volunteers help with almost every aspect of running the centre, and are greatly appreciated!

Prior experience with birds is not essential as we will provide training. It’s your availability, reliability, and willingness to help that really matter.

If you would like to join our team as a volunteer at our centre in Green Bay, Auckland and are over 18 years of age, please see the list of currently available volunteer roles below or email volunteer@birdcareaotearoa.org.nz for more information.

Volunteering opportunities are also available from home for fundraising activities and seeking sponsorship opportunities. Please email volunteer@birdcareaotearoa.org.nz if you’d like to help with raising funds for caring for precious rescued wild birds!

Fundraise for the birds

From holding a bake sale to organising a sponsored walk, run, swim or movie night, fundraisers are a lot of fun.

Not only will you raise much-needed funds to support our work, you will also increase awareness about Aotearoa’s incredible birdlife.

You can hold an independent fundraiser or register your fundraiser on Givealittle.
