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.

Tarāpuka Kāpiti

Tarāpuka / Black-billed gull

Why am I here?
I was found underweight with very poor, missing feathers that left me unable to fly.

Where have I come from?
Kapiti

What are the vets doing to help me?
I’m being closely monitored and supported with good nutrition so I can regain body condition, moult, and grow healthy new feathers.
