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 was found on the ground, unable to fly

Where did I come from?

Hawera

How did the vets help me?

I was treated for suspected head trauma with supportive care, including fluids, pain relief, and cage rest. I will be working on my flight fitness and foraging.
