Spesies care last 2 weeks

last 2 weeks of species care 23/06/2011 - 9/07/2011

the last 2 weeks of species care was also the most amazing week at he course as we kept on learning new things
as we got to slaughter a few animals for meat for the animals .we also did night shift through the whole course
which was a great experience as you learn new things like what to look for and to do your checks and see if all the animals are still fine and safe .
we also did stock take again but only on meat and we had to pack out all the carcasses and cleaned the freezers and count all the meat and them packed it back neatly ,
in the last two weeks we also cleaned the avery where the owls are and we raked it and threw new seeds so that we can grow grass and make the place like it was in the beginning also moved chaos the marsh owl inti another cage that i prepared for him by putting in new plats and giving him cover ton hide in ....
also cleaned the whole inside of the wild life center and re arranging it neatly by  moving the prep tables into the correct places where it is easily usable and not in the way .
we also had to  clean and maintain the outside of the wild life center by moving all poles and bricks and sticks etc that was laying around  into place or by throwing it into the trailer where it has them been taken away ..we cleaned all around Lefty's (serval) cage .
got a new animal in at the wild life center a baby Duiker (antelope )
Species care was my favorite course and i really learned a lot that i didn't know and will always remember it   .it was great working so up close and personal with all the animals and to get to know how to work with them and to handle them correctly..I also learned  very much from OOM SIEG  the manager of the wild life center ! as he taught us a lot about animals as well and stuff like what must be in an enclosure of the animals ,so that we don't put the wrong plants and flowers in the cage and also to make the enclosure as close as possible to the animals natural home /habitat .
IT was a really great course learned very much while i was there ..
