Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery provides shelter and world-class care for native wildlife to rehabilitate after treatment at Massey University’s Wildbase Hospital. A Wildbase Ruru became a social media darling in April 2021 when a tweet by Dr Natalie Anderson showing the bird before and after an anti-bacterial shampoo and blowdry went viral on Twitter.
