Passing through the paths of the Bird Sanctuary, you will have the opportunity to observe some totem birds of the region. In particular the famous Kea (a kind of mountain parrot) who knows how to be very playful on the heights of Kepler Track. You will find out!

Unlike a zoo, it is indeed a refuge that welcomes and puts injured birds back on their feet. New Zealand is very sensitive to the protection of its fauna and flora. Particularly with regard to birds, some species of which have suffered numerous ravages. The national symbol Kiwi is regularly the victim of road accidents but also of the plan to introduce rodents into natural areas.

The visit is free and you can see some typical native birds; unfortunately no kiwis! Unfortunately, the cage bars prevent unclouded observation.
All the birds presented there were found injured or sick.

This is where sick or needy native birds are cared for. This gives you the opportunity to see them up close, which would not be possible in the wild.
