Visit#5

By: Harry Staley

In this visit I encountered a lot of problems but it was also one of my best visits. I first got there with Alan and Tony and we were already to do some work. I started off by getting dishes from the animals to Tony for washing. Thin I prepared the food for Crow. I had to change out all of the newspaper for crow and then I could give him his food. Then I fed some of the other animals, like Gem, a terrapin. To feed Gem I needed to get a clear container and fill it about two inches with water. Before I put Gem into the container, I needed to put in little chunks of squid. After the squid was in the tank, I put Gem into the tank and left to feed another animal. A few minutes later Tony and I started to look at the snakes. When we got to the last snake, a corn snake, we noticed that it wasn’t moving. We examined it further and noticed that wood was coming out of its mouth. I told my partner and she immediately felt sad. That snake has been there for twenty years. She was very sad, but then she got over it and we resumed our work. After I finished feeding the animals inside, we had to feed the animals outside. All of the animals outside are a bird of prey, which means they eat other live things. My partner brought Kolton and I out to the big cages where we would begin feeding. Kolton and I had to give each bird the correct number of mice which was indicated on the feed sheet. We first walked into the cage and a big owl swooped down at Kolton and I. Immediately Kolton’s response was this is crazy, which it was. In one of the cages we went into Kolton and I had to pick up rats that were the size of my forearm. I thought that the feeding was really gross, but I also thought it was cool to go into those cages and feed those big birds. I love the experience and I can’t wait to go again.
