Operation Pateke
Brown Teal are critically
ENDANGERED. We breed birds for
release, fund research, protect and restore vital habitat,
and search for new release sites.
Operation Whio
Blue Duck's are the call of
the wild, but less than 4000 remain.
We've raised over $20,000 to help. We breed birds, fund
predator control, and help educate New Zealanders.
Operation Royal Swan
The mute swan is the most
majestic bird in New Zealand, but it is
now very rare. We transfer birds to suitable ponds and lakes.
