Kirby Wildlife Park - Keeper Experience - Information Pack |
|
|
Due to the large number of inquiries sent to the park from young people interested in working with animals, Kirby Wildlife Park has set up the unique ‘Keeper Experience’ package. This unique experience is only available at a handful of zoos and wildlife parks in the country. 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 immune suppressant illnesses cannot take part. It is also essential that all participants have a current tetanus vaccination. The participant will work with one of our full-time keepers on a one-to-one basis, not as part of a large group. This enables you to get a real hands-on experience, ask as many questions as you like, and get a day that is really tailored to your interests. Activities will include feeding, mucking out and preparing food. More importantly, you will learn about the different techniques used at our site to ensure the happiness and well-being of our animals. Participants will receive a complimentary entrance ticket for one family or friend to enter the park. Other guests accompanying the participant will need to purchase their own tickets at the normal price. Guests will have access to the park at the usual park opening time of 10am and will not be able to take part in any Keeper Experience activities. Volunteers will receive a gift pack and certificate as a souvenir of the day. A packed lunch is also provided. Volunteers also receive a 20% discount from our animal adoption scheme and any purchases made at the gift shop and on-site restaurant on the same day. What to bring Since most of the work you will do will be outside, make sure you bring warm clothes, and bring waterproofs in case of rainy weather. Since many of the animal pens are muddy and therefore slippery, it’s important to wear sturdy boots with good grips on the soles. Other protective clothing will be provided on the day. |
