1 . Kirby Wildlife Park — Keeper Experience

Due to the large number of inquiries from people interested in working with animals, Kirby Wildlife Park has set up the unique ‘Keeper Experience’ package. The fantastic experience is available to anyone over the age of 18 who is reasonably fit. We regret that for health and safety reasons, participants who are pregnant, in a wheelchair or suffering from illnesses cannot take part.

A typical day

9:30               Health and Safety Briefing

10:00             Apes and Monkeys

While cleaning out the enclosure (围场) you will find out about how enclosures are enriched with novel items and new smells to stimulate (刺激) the animals’ senses and imitate their natural environment.

12:00            Lunch

14:00             Big Cats

On the highlight of most volunteers’ day, you will feed the cats and learn about their nutritional needs. The keeper will give you an introduction to how cat behaviour can be read to get an idea of their welfare and health.

Meet more of the staff and learn how you can get further involved with work at the park. Learn about our animal adoption plan, what it takes to be a good keeper and where to obtain the right qualifications for a career in animal welfare.
