Feeding, feeding and more feeding

The work for the Stapeley team is varied throughout the day but much of it revolves around feeding. No matter what you are doing; cleaning enclosures, preparing/administering medications, examining the animals, admitting new ones, dealing with members of the public, filling in record cards, (the list goes on....), it is ALL interrupted by feeding, particular the small orphaned birds, which are on the hour every hour for 13 hrs a day!!

                          

Our walk-in fridge is a sight to behold...mice, chicks, fish, mealworms (and of course a bit of salad), are all stored in there.  Today I fed our orphaned tawny owls, (for vegetarians, read no more)...chopped up mouse...mmmmm!
