The Story of Our Sassy Seabird

On the 5th of October, a caring member of the public discovered a Giant Petrel washed up on Ōakura Beach after battling some wild weather.

She was brought to NP Vets, where our dedicated vets and nurses provided care and support to help her recover. After a few days with us, she was transferred (via DOC) to the amazing team at Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery for ongoing treatment and rehabilitation.

During her stay, this strong-willed lady developed quite the personality-earning a reputation for being sassy and eating like a Labrador! She kept everyone at Wildbase entertained as she regained her strength.

Our vet nurse Averil stayed in touch throughout her journey and was thrilled to join the final stage-her release back to the wild! After careful planning by Wildbase (and waiting for the perfect weather), on Thursday, November 6th, one month after she first came into our care, Averil traveled to Napier to witness and document her return to the ocean at Napier Harbour with the help of Coastgaurd Hawke’s Bay.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this rescue and recovery possible:

💙 Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery
💙 Coastgaurd Hawke’s Bay-Jo, Henry & Griz
💙 Department of Conservation-New Plymouth
💙 Vet Tech Christine
💙 Wildbase Volunteers-Marion & Pauline

We’re so proud to see this beautiful Giant Petrel free again-proof of what teamwork, compassion, and a little perseverance can do.

At this time of year, it’s common to come across baby ducklings — but before you scoop them up, here are some important things to know:

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻:
💛Mum may have just been scared off and is likely nearby.
💛Give the ducklings some time — she will often return when she hears them calling.

𝗜𝗳 𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸:
💙Call us on (06) 758 4006 and we can guide you on what to do next. Please note: we are only able to take in injured ducklings.
💙We also have a handout with excellent advice on raising ducklings until they are ready for release.

𝗜𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀:
Bring them straight to us so we can provide the care they need.

👉Taking a moment before intervening helps give duck families the best chance of staying together.
