There are a number of locations within New Zealand where the three native NZ Raptors (Australasian Harrier, NZ Falcon and Morepork) are kept for public display, captive breeding and for rehabilitation, before release back into the wild.
The Raptor Association of New Zealand recommends the following establishments (not in any order of preference) as places to see and learn more about our native raptors and some non-native raptors.
