Turn up the dawn chorus

Rage against the rat, possum, weasel and stoat

Birdwhat?

Birdfest is a city-wide celebration of Wellington’s birdlife revival. By removing every rat, possum, weasel and stoat from our capital, we’re helping native birds take centre stage. Help fund this revival by buying a ticket.

Native bird counts are up 136%, but bringing them to every neighbourhood stage takes crowd backing. Show your support today, buy a ticket to donate.

T&Cs – Birdfest isn’t a single event. It’s the birdsong you hear around Wellington every day.

Our future is predator free

Birdfest ıs presented by Predator Free Wellington. Together with thousands of Wellingtonians we’re making the world’s first predator free capital city. This ambitious project covers 30,000 ha and around 70,000 households, stretching from Miramar Peninsula over to Mākara, and all the way up to Porirua.
