BIRD RECOVERY CENTRE

While on our walk at the Museum grounds we visited the Bird Recovery Centre see here .  This was started by Robert and Robyn Webb in 1992 and is a wonderful centre.  I have taken birds there myself when they have been injured.  I was unable to photograph any of the birds in the enclosures due to the shade but managed to get a photo of a  kereru in a nearby tree. 




By co-incidence at the Growers' Market on Saturday a lady was making flax flowers and selling them in aid of the centre.

    One of the reasons I like living in the countryside is that we have bird and animal rescues nearby. We have called them on occasion to help with injured creatures.

      I much prefer the country. We are lucky here as there is lots of country but we are on the edge of a small city. Best of both worlds.

      Yes, they are nice. We came across the dolphins last year and I bought them for Doug's birthday. His nephew had the duck in gumboots and Doug liked it so we bought it when we saw one on sale here.

    I've driven past that place lots of times but I've never actually stopped in. Have you been to the bird sanctuary in Waipu?
