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.
