In May, June and July of this year, Walker & Hall collaborated with Native Bird Rescue to raise money for Native Bird Rescue on Waiheke Island, to help rehabilitate and release our native birdlife.
We combined our love of sustainable jewellery with our conservation efforts, and for every purchase from our Pre-Loved collections between 18th May and 13th July 2022, we donated $50 towards the Native Bird Rescue initiative.
With your support, every purchase from our Pre-Loved Collections during the campaign, made a difference to the life of the birds in care at Waiheke's Native Bird Rescue. The Walker & Hall Trust donated over $7000 to help rehabilitate and release Aotearoa native birdlife and that is thanks to you!
'The abundant bird life on Waiheke is a true blessing. To be startled by crashing kererū / native wood pigeon, followed relentlessly by dancing pīwakawaka / fantails, or more recently catching the cry of the kākā / native parrots are all precious shared moments with nature. What dedicated individuals and organisations like Native Bird Rescue have managed to achieve is hugely impressive and, in my experience, unmatched elsewhere in NZ. It is a pleasure to be able to give back to the Island and to those who have made it all possible.'

About Native Bird Rescue
Native Bird Rescue is an Avian Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation facility, based on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand. They specialise in fully protected native and endemic birds for environmental conservation aims and are the only DoC permitted facility on the Island.

In the last year we have admitted over 35 species including many kererū / native wood pigeon, kākā / native parrot, tui / parson bird, kōtare / sacred kingfisher, ruru / morepork and many seabirds including the ever so popular kororā / little blue penguins to name just a few.'‘Our award winning ‘Community Wildlife Connections’ programme enables us to connect our community to the wildlife in their own backyards. We keep the rescuers updated with the journey of the bird each step of the way. This encourages pro-conservation beliefs and actions to protect and restore our vitally important ecosystems. This is our Home and the birds too so every purchase from the pre-loved collections will make a huge difference to the life of the birds in our care.'
