The Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre Incorporated has cared for and treated thousands of birds since 1st August 1992, when it was first established in Whangarei in Northland in New Zealand.

As founders of the centre, we have 'clocked up' over 30 years experience working with native birds, managing and running the centre with the help of a small but dedicated team of volunteers.

The Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre Incorporated's diverse operations include:
Rescuing, caring for and rehabilitating over 1200 birds each year.
Running education programmes for approximately 6000 school children who visit the centre each year.
Conducting birdlife education programmes in some of Northland's more remote schools.
Lecturing groups of adults about the centre and its conservation work.
Fostering environmental consciousness in Northland's communities.
Educating local landowners on wild birds and care of their habitat.
Helping save the kiwi by supporting the Department of Conservation and many Northland Landcare groups in their work associated with kiwi recovery
Provide ongoing care of birds that cannot be released.
Providing free access to the centre for the public. The centre is also wheelchair friendly.

The Centre is proud to be making a major contribution to the conservation and recovery of kiwi in the environs of Whangarei and throughout Northland.
