Chatty Ducks ISO New Home. ❤️

6/6/2020

 
These happy, chatty ducks are looking for a place to call home!! 🦆
Picture
A coop to shelter them for winter,
a safe environment to roam in the day,
and regular feeds will see this domesticated bunch thriving!

They were previously abandoned,
then targeted with poison & found in a pretty bad way 😭

So we want to ensure a LOVING home is found.

Can you help or want some more info?
Message us on Facebook or email: info@wbrt.org.nz

Help Support your Local Kereru!

6/6/2020

 
Beautiful Kereru patient currently with WBRT. ❤️💚

We have successfully rehabilitated many Kereru over the lockdown period,
but their long stay, with medication, radiographs and fancy feeds essentially makes them “golden” birds!

Here’s where you may be able to help 🐥

We are a registered charity, set up with a give a little page, where even $10 contributes to the ongoing care of our feathered friends.

Whether it goes toward feed to make their meals or medication to heal their wounds, your donation is assisting their rehabilitation. 👍

Please help us to help them.

Follow our link today! ❤️ https://givealittle.co.nz/donate/org/duckman
Also a huge THANKS to those who have already donated.
It is much appreciated 🦆🐥

Wee Grey Teal finally back where he belongs...Wild and free!

At the end of May, we were finally able to send this wee Little Grey Teal off to his new home!

👍 ❤️

The wait was quite long for this fella but he is now free and happy with some other grey teal buddies!

Poor Rex! ☹️

Big boy Rex (named after a T-Rex Dinosaur) has been recovering from a prolapse.
He’s been slightly uncomfortable to say the least!!
Please send him some well wishes! 😍🦖🦆

Heartfelt thanks to those who care enough to help wildlife...

5/2/2020

 
Thank you to the lovely cyclist Alena
who stopped for this beautiful bird and took the trouble to find it help.

Likely hit by a car, the goose was left on the side of the road to suffer. 😢

Picture
After the SPCA decided it was nothing they would help with, Alena managed to contact us, and with the help of Richard from H20 in Thorndon, we were able to get this bird to our facility, where it is receiving the care it desperately needs!

We can’t thank people such as Alena and Richard enough, for going out of their way and generously giving their time to help animals in need.

Thank you all for coming and for your support!

We couldn't support the birds
without support from you.

Thank you from the birds!

It's duck hunting season again. Let's make our voices heard and stop this cruel sport for good.

6/5/2019

WBRT supports a full ban on duck shooting.

This may seem like an impossible goal, but we believe with enough people and enough voices, we can unite and come together to protect these innocent birds.

We spend our days dedicated to treating sick and injured waterfowl, and especially non-natives. We don't think ANY animal should fall victim to such a cruel "sport."

Please see this information from SAFE about how you can take action.

Let's try to make sure that no more of these precious birds...

...wind up like this.

Happy Weekend, from just a few of the patients currently in our care!
❤️
Did you know, staff & volunteers are here at the WBRT facility
caring for our sick and injured feathered friends 7 days a week?
We look after a multitude of birds every day, and lots of time, effort and hard work is put into this care.

Many thanks to those we have on site helping out, as well as those that provide us support in other ways, such as offering homes for birds or donating shredding!

If you would like to help contribute to the ongoing work of WBRT, but can't donate your time, or goods, please take a look at our Give A Little page.

Even a $1.00 donation means everything to us! We want to continue the work we do, but we cannot do it alone!

Donate to our charity today! ❤️ https://givealittle.co.nz/org/duckman

Joe the swan's amazing recovery!

5/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Joe the swan came to us after being attacked, likely by a stoat or a domestic pet.

With injuries to her beak, wings and left leg, she’s been on a long road to recovery.

We have seen positive signs though, like running away from staff when she’s feeling particularly feisty!
😂

It can be hard to believe that she was barely able to walk when we first met her.

We look forward to her continuing improvement!
