Bird rescuers need your help
Lower Hutt Kererū Rescue is appealing for donations to cover fuel, food and medication so it can keep operating in April.
Rescue coordinator Hayden James says the increasing cost of fuel is having a major impact. The charity had covered 1023 kms so far this month, rescuing 33 birds from as afield as Masterton and Levin.
Birds rescued included nine seagulls, five Kererū, one kākā, four tūī and two pied shags. The kākā had flown into a house and was unable to get out. It was caught and released unharmed.
