The Hollywood Avondale.
This classic nature-horror (PG13) is a timely reminder for all of us to care for Te Taiao nature. Hitchcock later explained that the bird attacks in the film were due to humanity’s failure to appreciate and protect nature. The proceeds from the tickets will help our hospital rehabilitate bird patients during our bustling baby bird season!
Many of you have contributed to BirdCare’s nursery programme in previous years. Arohanui! This nursery mahi (work) is incredibly challenging, and involves the art of hand-rearing and feeding orphaned baby birds, often during long 12-hour days. We have such a dedicated nursery team, and they need our support!
Are you keen to take up a challenge to support the baby birds? Invite your school or work mates to join you, and Move for Good!
Sign up for a walk, run, swim, cycle, or fun outdoor challenge – and ask your friends and family to sponsor you. Be a Toa Tiaki Manu (champion of the birds) for BirdCare!
All proceeds raised will support our baby bird programme.
Limited edition medals are available for those who take up this challenge!

Date: 18th October 2022
The global increase in extreme weather events due to the climate crisis means Aotearoa will not be immune to its impacts. Much has been done to prepare for events impacting people, their pets, and the agricultural animals around us. But how will our precious wildlife fare? This event, which is part of the Auckland Climate Festival, will explore the issues, resources, and possible outcomes for some of our most vulnerable avifauna.
