Fight or Flight: Triaging and Treating WIld Birds in the Clinic-1CPD
Ever had a wild bird brought into the clinic and you have no idea what to do?
Do you leave an angry cockatoo in a box and pray that someone else is willing to go anywhere near it?
Amy is a Senior Veterinary Nurse at Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.
After completing her Certificate II in Animal Studies, Certificate III in Captive Animals and Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2015, she spent the next 4 years volunteering and working as a Vet Nurse and Zookeeper across various institutions, including the Red Panda Network, Symbio Wildlife Park and Taronga Zoo/Taronga Wildlife Hospital. In 2018 she combined her love of veterinary care with wildlife rehabilitation to fulfil her dream career at Australia Zoo as a Wildlife/Zoo Veterinary Nurse and is loving every minute of it. She also has a side business (wildscrubsau) sewing Animal-Print Scrub shirts/medical attire where profits are donated monthly to various wildlife conservation organisations.
Amy is passionate about the education of veterinary staff, carers and members of the public about wildlife treatment and husbandry and its effect on successful wildlife rehabilitation and release.
