Show and Tell

I've gone back to studying at home after work. Today I started Introduction to Animal Behaviour, and I found courses on climate change, conservation and ecosystems I wanna do next. Thought it might be helpful for folks who want learn more, but don't have enough time or money to pay for a full degree

last weekend i went home to volunteer at the wildlife center and spent some time with my favorite birdy and marsupials! spent the day cleaning opossum enclosures and doing food prep :) these opys will be released soon but still just a bit too cold!

Found a couple of fun things when I was out antiquing/thrifting. A large antique sugar caster to hold my needle felt needles and a small glass palette for my nail art. I of course, had to bring my favorite shopping, buddy once I convinced him to leave his sunny spot.

After watching stream for years I decided to take a chance on a childhood career dream — I start my zookeeping job next week. I've done horseriding & petsitting for some years, but this will be my first time working with animals as a full-time career. Thanks to Alveus for the courage to try this.

I work at port in a river in Southern Spain that attracts lots of bugs, specially mosquitoes and spiders hunting for them, there's been some cool visitors lately

There is also around 20 stray cats that are the descendants of the old pest control Ship Cats, been trying to get them fixed and adopte
