🐦Landcare Bird Survey - Assessing our progress

 Every year Sunnyhills tamariki take part in the Garden Bird Survey 🐦 to assess the health of our environment and the success of our actions. Rooms 1, 2 & 7 took part this year.

We're hoping that planting 700 natives on site will have had a positive effect.

You can take part at home too! Visit Garden bird survey

Afterwards we researched Auckland garden birds to see which actions we can take to support our local bird populations. Check out our mahi here: Garden Birds & Creating a Bird Friendly Garden

Sadly despite planting 700 native trees and trapping pests on site our bird numbers over all are continuing to decline. We are wondering how we can reverse this trend. Two ideas would be a bird bath and bird feeders. We were excited to spot a grey warbler for the first time.
