First Thursday at the Palm Beach Zoo

Well last Thursday, was my first day at the Commissary, it was very grueling, not gross, but just hard work, cutting up all those vegetables.  The next day, my neck and shoulder hurt, I am not used to such manual labor.  Hopefully, I can make it through this Commissary training, it is only every other week, so my shoulder and hand have time to recover.

The frozen Mice did not come out till I was leaving, they were so little and white and actually cute, I have not seen any frozen rats yet, I am sure that will come.

The Thursday night docent training was cancelled last week, but I will be going this week, will keep you posted.

Here is a picture from the Bronx Zoo, next week I will post Palm Beach Zoo pictures.

This is a cheetah I photographed on my trip to Kenya.   I will tell more about that trip in other blogs.

Starting at the zoo

Thursday's I again will be at the zoo, not at the Bronx Zoo, but now I will reside at the Palm Beach Zoo.  I again will be a docent and am currently in training.  I will also be taking the animal handling course, which requires 3 months in the commissary, making animal food.  I was asked can I handle frozen rats and such, so this should be interesting. 

As one of the requirements for the docent course, I had to go see the animal shows at the zoo, they are excellent and my son Steven and his friend agreed.  We got to pet a little alligator, see a two toed sloth and  watch owls and other birds do tricks.


Haven't taken pictures at the Palm Beach Zoo,  so you will have to see more Bronx Zoo pictures, I have 5 years of that to show.

Currenrtly no pictures from the Palm Beach Zoo so here is a male peacock from the Bronx Zoo, they are the only animal allowed to roam freely throughout the zoo.

Flamingos, they have beautiful ones in NY during the summer.
