*Santa Barbara Zoo (Santa Barbara, California) Summer 2011

An AZA accredited zoological facility in Santa Barbara, California.

I volunteered at the zoo for 4 months and during this time I learned a lot about different husbandry techniques and how animals got trained, fed, and how to clean out cages.

I was able to extend my knowledge primarily with larger exotic land mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. I learned how to hand feed frogs and lizards. I was able to hand feed four giraffes while the keeper was bottle feeding the baby. I made enrichment items for the lions. I helped weigh the two lions as well as the Amur leopard. I also got to clean out the California condor exhibit, and to have something that big fly that close to you is something you will never forget. And I got to move Macaws from one area to the other.
