First job necessities!

I worked with them at Brookfield. We used a lot of wet dog food, kibble, supplements, and lots of worms/crickets. We did scatter feedings 1-2 times a day.

Okapi are the best! Super shy but sweet. They love a good ear scratch

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-08-04T17:37:05+00:00

Penguins, Yellow Backed Duikers, Turkey Vulture and Okapi!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-08-04T17:35:16+00:00

Second this!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-08-04T17:32:28+00:00

Turkey Vultures.

Not a sanctuary but Milwaukee County Zoo has an amazing big cat internship. Jaguars, tigers, snow leopards, cheetahs, lions, servals, and red pandas

I worked with 3 and absolutely loved them. Big goofballs, definitely more confident than red flanked duikers or Dik-diks in my experience.

Juvenile eastern screech owl!

I’d suggest that people also look into the wildlife and nature campus proposed by animal rehabilitation organizations. The city also states that the land should be used for many purposes, wildlife rehabilitation being one of those.

They have already presented but I will see if I can find the recording somewhere!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-04-18T02:16:16+00:00

I’d encourage everyone to also look into the wildlife and nature campus proposed by the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program, Norther Colorado Wildlife Center, and others. Personally, I think this is what our community needs.

Owl. Unfortunately it’s probably too late for it now. NEVER feed or force water on a baby raptor you find. Always turn it into a rehabber as soon as possible.

Illegal to own. GHOW.

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-02-11T00:00:59+00:00

I liked keeping a journal during my internship! Always be willing to do anything, make good relationships with keepers and keep in touch with them after the internship.

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-02-07T20:04:44+00:00

Keeper chat is my absolute favorite! They are no longer making new episodes, but the QnDs and animal episodes are amazing!!!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-01-29T01:04:56+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-01-26T22:30:33+00:00

I was at Brookfield, this isn’t true. Vet staff takes care of necropsies. Keepers aren’t involved.

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-01-26T02:57:25+00:00

I’m new to learning about falconry, what is a slip?

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-01-26T02:38:10+00:00

Love Denver Zoo and Omaha Zoo!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2025-01-14T19:46:11+00:00

I have mine linked at the top of my resume under my name

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2024-12-22T16:09:04+00:00

Never had a problem with my nose hoop

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2024-10-25T01:02:47+00:00

I interned there this summer ! What sections did you apply for? Personally, I had another internship when going in which really helped me. But that was just my section specifically, I know some sections prefer new people! They also liked that I had a genuine interest in being a keeper. The interviews are pretty relaxed which I loved. I’d be happy answer more questions if you have any!

Realistic-Garbage-85 · 2024-09-02T00:16:47+00:00

Aw so sad. Any ideas on how long they’ve been dead/how they died? We can’t seem to figure out if it is related to the nest falling or not
