Help save us!
Save the birds and animals. We need the support to keep us open and running. What would Hout Bay be without the World of Birds?
For 38 years World of Birds in Hout Bay has accepted & cared for up to 200 birds & animals every month in need of help and care. The no-kill policy (while there is quality of life) has given permanent shelter to hundreds of birds, animals and reptiles with no Official or Corporate support.
With the economic downturn and drastically reduced tourism and income another difficult year lies ahead. Continuing with the free and privately funded Wildlife Care Service could mean the closure and loss of the World of Birds as a Bird Park and Recreational and Educational Institution. Hout Bay and Cape Town would lose one of its major tourism assets.
Your yearly membership will help to make life as good as possible for birds and animals in our care. Please help the World of Birds before it’s too late.
