Te Anau Wildlife Centre - Te Anau, Fiordland, New Zealand - Aviaries on Waymarking.com

Te Anau Wildlife Centre is a good place to see rare and endangered native New Zealand birds. There is no fee to enjoy the birds.

According to the Department of Conservation, the birds held in aviaries here have either been injured and cannot survive in the wild, or they have been involved in captive rearing programmes. The injured birds are rehabilitated and if possible, released back into the wild when they are strong enough.

Birds in the aviary include the kereru (native pigeon), pukeko (blue flamingo), tui, kea, kakariki, kaka, takahe, and weka.

The Centre is open from dawn to dusk. Guided tours are available if booked in advance (ask at the Visitor Centre).
