Animal hospitals

BirdCare Aotearoa is a registered charity dedicated to providing care and rehabilitation for sick, injured, and orphaned wild birds. Based in Green Bay, Auckland, we are the largest avian hospital and rehabilitation centre in Aotearoa New Zealand by the sheer number of birds cared for, admitting over 6,500 birds every year. Most birds are brought to us by members of the public, as well as by the SPCA, Department of Conservation, Auckland Council, Fish & Game New Zealand, veterinary clinics, and other wildlife rehabilitators.

This companion animal dermatology service was started by Duncan Graham BVSc BSc (Hons) in 2001 when he left general veterinary practice to concentrate solely on companion animal skin issues. Duncan brings more than 20 years’ experience to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic allergic skin conditions, recurrent ear infections, and any unusual presentations of a dermatological nature.  ​​ Duncan travels from Nelson weekly or fortnightly to Wellington/ Te Whanganui-a-Tara where he sees cases referred by local veterinarians at two convenient locations: Pet Doctors Thorndon in the Capital Gateway on Thorndon Quay and Rappaw Central Veterinary Hospital, Kenepuru Drive, in Porirua.
