On Tuesday the 8 of April the bird lady came into the class to talk about what she does with birds and what trees they fly into and what she does with them.
The lady's name is Sylvia, she has a good job.
The birds she bout in is called:penguin,more pork,
when Sylvia visited room 2 i was interested in what she brought in the:penguin,more pork,and more, its good to learn about birds and what happens to them. people across the world still track down North Shore's bird lady for advice.
Sylvia Durrant has rescued birds and nursed them back to feisty health for about 25 years.
Around 4000 birds a year arrive at her Rothesay Bay home - from dazed penguins rescued by policemen from roads at night to baby tui, mistaken for blackbirds, found in gardens.
Even people in Hong Hong, China and England phone her for advice after tracking down her phone number on the internet.
But usually she's taking daily calls from Aucklanders with sick native or introduced birds that are cared for and released back into the wild.
For many years she's been part of the SPCA's Bird Wing but it's been disbanded due to such few groups working in this area.
Mrs Durrant says she's always relied on donations, rather than financial support from SPCA, so it won't impact on her work.
