Our Keepers Care

We love our Keepers. Every day they go above and beyond their regular responsibilities to keep our animals safe, healthy and happy. Recently Keeper Kirsty saw a need for shelter in the barn owl exhibit located at the entrance to the Loft.

So what did she do? She made the Zoo’s resident barn owl a house! How, you ask? She purchased (on her own dime) plywood, screws and some soft material and in a weekend’s time, fashioned the owl condo in her living room. “My husband was very patient with this project taking over our house!” said Kirsty.

Now our barn owl has a snug home in which to make a nest or simply hide from the wind and rain. “Once he figured out he could go inside, he made quick use of his new bungalow!” said Kirsty.

Thank you Keeper Kirsty!
