Life as a wildlife volunteer

One day at work, we helped Nature (one of the keepers) feeding the snakes. 

This is a Brown Snake!

Armed with nothing but a plastic lid for a bin, we got the snakes into the bins, where they can eat their food - rats!

It was pretty cool to be so close, and the snakes didn't even waste a look for us, after they got their rats.











WARNING!!
Pictures of the snakes eating rats are coming....

yum yum.... rats!

Nom nom nom!!

Cody is sleeeeping!

My job is 90% shit and 10% awesomeness...
litterally shit.... I clean koala poop, kangaroo poop, bird poop, possum poop... and other sorts of poop on occasions! 

He's so sooooft!

 But I get paid in awesome moments, so it doesn't always feel that bad!

Harry is trying to figure out if you have some
macropod pellets for him!

Black Swan! 

One day I got to see some kangaroo joeys, another I could feed one a bit older, and I got peed on by a possum as well!









The keepers are really nice, and my fellow volunteers as well.

Jack the pelican!

We get breakfast and lunch at work, and it's awesome!

I think this is Jako, but I don't remember...

I don't have much to say, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves!

Who do you call an owl? We are frogmouths!
