Did you know that all of our Zoo animals visit The Nest Te Kōhanga regularly to make sure they’re in good health?

The Nest Te Kōhanga is our animal hospital and centre for native wildlife care led by an expert team of vets and vet nurses. Every day, they are ready to look after any Zoo animals that might need veterinary care or native wildlife patients that are brought in by the community. Each year The Nest Te Kōhanga treats over 400 native wildlife patients brought to us from all over New Zealand. The care for each of these patients can cost up to $500 while we nurse them back to health so they can be returned to the wild. Please help us care for our Zoo animals and native wildlife patients by making a donation.

The generosity of people like you can help make sure we have the best equipment and technology to provide animals with top notch veterinary care.

Watch how our team provide care for Zoo and native wildlife patients.
