A safe haven for native animals

Our patients recover at our centre after treatment at Wildbase Hospital, they change regularly as they recover and are released back into the wild.

Our resident animals are with us all the time so there is always something to see.

I am a juvenile tūī needing to grow up

Where have I come from?

I was found on the ground in Whanganui

How did the vets help me?

I was fed and treated for mites by the team at Wildbase Hospital.  I'm here to work on flight fitness,  and to learn what food I should eat in the wild.
