The Birds! a fundraiser

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 22 October 2024

Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds may have been the stuff of nightmares for many, but a bird rescue is hoping a special screening will help keep their dream alive.

BirdCare Aotearoa is holding a special fundraising screening of the 1963 horror classic at Auckland's Hollywood Avondale theatre next month. But it's causing a few ruffled feathers among bird-lovers.

Jesse talks to BirdCare Aotearoa's fundraising manager, Dr. Rashi Parker.
