How you can help - BirdCare Aotearoa

There are many ways you can make a real difference in the lives of New Zealand'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.

Volunteer to join our team

As a small team, we rely heavily on our wonderful team of volunteers to help us care for the 6000+ birds who come through our doors every year.

From administrative tasks, running errands and making deliveries to gardening, maintenance and hands-on bird care, our volunteers contribute to just about every aspect of running the centre.

Whether or not you have direct experience with birds, we can provide training for you – it’s your availability and willingness to help that really matter.

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