Bird Rescue Dunedin could face closure following complaint from member of public

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Dunedin News

A bird rescue centre currently caring for 400 birds is facing closure, after Dunedin City Council staff visited following a complaint from a member of the public.

In a post to a supporters’ group on Facebook, Sue Cook – who runs the centre – said the council told staff only 70% of her property, including her house and garage, can be occupied.

“We have no idea what we will do because there is so much work. There are nests, babies and eggs. We don’t know how we are going to dismantle them."

Bird Rescue Dunedin rescues, re-homes, and rehabilitates birds. It also provides bird sitting and educates the public about birds.

A Dunedin City Council spokesperson said the council staff looked into this following a complaint from a member of the public, but would not share details about the specifics of the complaint.
