Beautiful Ruru (Morepork) chick, was brought into us over the weekend. He was weak and needed crop feeding and Traumeel. He is much brighter today. We look forward to releasing him back to the wild when he is well recovered.

In this video, I'll be looking at the dangers of fish hooks and other fishing tackle.

In my practice, I see too many pets and wild animals who have been hooked by fish hooks or tangled up in wire and fishing line. I'm hoping we can spread the message to encourage anyone who's out fishing to be as careful as possible with their hooks and other fishing tackle. I know the animals would be grateful.

ARRC Kids Adventure Series

ARRC aims is to help educate children about the importance of conservation, environmental sustainability, animal welfare as well as responsible pet ownership and how these themes link in together.

To facilitate this, we have written 10 books, all based on true stories at ARRC, illustrating how our wildlife are impacted by humans. They have colourful illustrations (all donated by wonderful local artists), fun facts and tips on how children can help our wildlife and environment.

$10 each or the set for $99 - a great addition to any school/childcare centre library.

In this video, this is a gorgeous baby Tui bird, one of New Zealand's best-loved native birds.

Tuis are really delightful to have around our gardens and native bush, but their habitat is easily put under pressure by something as simple as chopping down a tree, which is what happened to this little guy.

I'll offer some suggestions as to how we can help make life easier for native birds like the Tui.

In this video, we are going to offer some helpful tips and suggestions about how cat owners can help protect our native wildlife and help support our natural environment while keeping their cats happy.

These tips include:

Feed your cat good quality food.

Keep your cat inside at night or consider an enclosure.

Provide toys and regular playtime.

For those cats that do hunt wildlife, a bell may be placed on their collar to help warn native wildlife about the cats’ presence. Another option is a special “cat bib” that can help to prevent wildlife from being caught.

Never abandon unwanted cats. It is unfair to leave them to fend for themselves, their welfare often suffers and it can be a threat to our wildlife.

Unless you are a responsible cat breeder, have your cat desexed.

Below a pic of the Kéreru that spent a month recouperating in our aviary. He was collected from us by the person who brought him in. She was concerned that his partner hadn't been seen while the bird we had was in our care. She released the bird in our care, who promptly disappeared. Later that afternoon,both birds returned, together. ❤️
