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.

Ruru Wellington

Ruru/Morepork Wellington

I was found on the ground at someone's house

Where have I come from?
I was found in the Wellington Region

How have the vets helped me?
I was treated at The Nest te Kōhanga at Wellington Zoo for ulcers in both of my eyes and I also had my tail feathers plucked to encourage new growth. I am now here to regrow my missing tail feathers and gain back strength

I was released on the 13th of February!
