Have you seen this request? They may help this lady and her birds...

We need help in feeding two rare and endangered birds so they can be released back into the wild.

Are you in christchurch? And do you have any spare live fish (about bully-sized)? Or tadpoles?

Two Australasian bittern chicks (both female) have come into a rescue centre in Christchurch. They are very young and just learning to feed for themselves. We are keen to give them access to live fish so they can learn to feed properly before they're released. Do you have any spare feeder fish you can donate? Do you know anyone in Christchurch who can help? If so please call Jackie on 0272164636

Please like and share to help these birds. Thanks.

Some info on bitterns:
Australasian bitterns are secretive swampbirds in the heron family. They're only found in NZ, Australia and New Caledonia and are the rarest bittern species the world - rarer than blue ducks, kokako and brown kiwi. NZ and Australia have < 1000 birds each, and the species is thought to be extinct from New Caledonia.

These two chicks were found by members of the public near Travis wetland in Christchurch. They're doing well under the care of Jackie Stevenson and will hopefully be released soon.
