Oamaru’s beloved cockatoo Jimmy has found a permanent home at a bird sanctuary in North Canterbury. The sanctuary, which will open to the public next month, is set to provide a safe environment for Jimmy and other native birds. Jimmy, a well-known local attraction, has been living in the sanctuary since its construction. The facility is designed to support the conservation of native bird species and offer educational opportunities for visitors. The opening date has not been finalized, but it is expected to take place in the coming weeks. The sanctuary is part of a broader initiative to protect and preserve native wildlife in the region. The move marks a new chapter for Jimmy, who has been a popular figure in Oamaru for years.
