At Birdworld our keepers are very enthusiastic about their animals and the vital role of zoos in raising awareness on the conservation of global species.

We are also very aware of the mentoring responsibilities a keeper has in ensuring the next generation of keepers can develop the skills they need to offer the best care, and keep this industry always looking forward.

Our volunteer and work placement positions are suitable for students in animal-based sciences, or those wishing to develop skills in the zoo industry. They are a great introduction to the Zoo working environment, enabling the development of a range of husbandry skills and techniques, and building confidence in the workplace

Due to the complex nature of the animals and the environment we work in, there are necessary limitations to these roles, please contact us for more details.
