New Zealand Bird Rescue accepts and cares for all New Zealand birds whether they are native, non-native or pet. Every bird in New Zealand is a NZ bird to us. We assist thousands of birds each year (between 4000 and 5000), many being the victims of cat attacks, road accidents, pollution (such as fishing line and nylon entanglements and botulism) or human cruelty.
