Visit To New Mexico Wildlife Center - Great Horned Owl - Animal Ambassador Encounter With Wildlife Center Staff My friend Kevin and I went to visit the New Mexico Wildlife Center ( @new_mexico_wildlife_center ) in El Valle de Arroyo Seco, New Mexico (near Española) Most of these photos were taken through the cage mesh. Ironically the close up come out better than wider shots. I did the best I could to share these amazing birds with you. #GreatHornedOwl #GreatHornedOwls #Owl #Owls #BirdsOfPrey #BirdOfPrey #OwlsOfInstagram #Birds #Bird #BirdPhotography #Birding #BirdingPhotography #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae #AnimalAmbassadors #WildlifeEncounter (at New Mexico Wildlife Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpq-VdNNn8p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Helping people connect with traditionally farmed animals is one of the most powerful ways to inspire compassion, healing, and altruism. Volunteer Rachael visited @blackberrycreek years several ago as a guest and is now one of our most committed weekly volunteers (along with her husband @airric6 ), caring for animals like Finn and promoting a vegan lifestyle that promotes kindness to all. The animals are the true advocates at sanctuaries; we simply exist to love them well and give them a platform to share their stories. #volunteersrock #animalambassadors #sanctuarylife #loveoneanother (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpB-3GDLuaf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New podcast episode available! My favorite kind of animal trainers are those who break the rules!! What I mean by that is that they are the ones who question everything in the name of doing it better. That is why this episode is entitled “Progressive Bird Training.” My special guest Hillary Hankey is one of those trainers who spends every day analyzing, studying and practicing the art and science of animal training with a diverse collection of birds in Southern California. And her results have demonstrated that indeed we can always improve. She describes the spectacular immersive free flight experience guests, students, clients and interns can have when they visit her facility. We discuss practices that can improve the welfare of birds trained for educational presentations, as well as enhance the guest experience. This means diving into how we create motivation, collection planning, the types of behaviors we train and altering guest’s expectations. We also discuss the current trend of free flying companion parrots and some of the things pet owners need to take into consideration. Visit the episode webpage to see video clips and learn more about her online education program the Avian Behavior Lab and future on site workshops.

Friends, one of the Arctic foxes I work with is currently in the ICU and undergoing emergency exploratory abdominal surgery. We have had an insane amount of veterinary bills this year and his alone is already passing $7k. Please help us spread our GoFundMe and if you are in Southern California you can help us out in other ways, like booking an interactive animal encounter or education program. Thank you for reading this and keeping Miki in your thoughts! #arcticfox #animalambassador #vet https://www.gofundme.com/help-the-animals-of-wild-wonders (at Wild Wonders) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhpDu4ArjGksBSpbHqw5bpS-_F9pGhSCQOa6Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jxncn2es34xr

Everyone seems to be enchanted by the penguins - especially when they get to meet them in person. But not everyone knows the challenges penguins face in the wild. For example did you know the African Penguin is an endangered species? It’s true! In less than 30 years their population has declined by 60 percent! And most of the things that are causing this are issues created by humans. The good news is, humans can help prevent the extinction of this species by changing some of our activities!

Today’s Topic: Exploring Educational Experiences that Feature Trained Animals - The changing role of trained animals as ambassadors The types of educational experiences that features trained animals over the years have evolved dramatically. The types of behaviors featured have changed, the way trainers and guests interact with animals have changed, and the species involved in programs has changed. The types of information and way messaging is delivered have progressed as well. Today’s livestream will explore this growth and development. We will look at where we came from and where programs are heading. What changes have you experienced? What do you see as beneficial for both animal ambassadors and effective for raising awareness about desired messaging? There is a lot to discuss on this topic! Join me live most every Monday at 11:00 AM Central time for another YOU be the Behavior Consultant. These are interactive events and super fun I might add 😉 with video clips! Everything is now happening in YouTube at this link https://www.youtube.com/BarbaraHeidenreich/ link also in bio @barbara_heidenreich The replay will continue to be posted in the Facebook group Animal Training Fundamentals with Barbara Heidenreich https://www.facebook.com/groups/AnimalTrainingFundamentals/ Come and get your professional development on! #livestream #animaltraining #barbaraheidenreich #zooanimaltraining #exoticanimaltraining #zookeeper #animalambassadors #educationanimals #animalpresentations #keepertalks #animalshows #educationalprogramming #edutainment #animalprogramming #animaloutreach #vipexperienceswithanimals #animalintepretation #conservationeducation #wildlifeeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/CZHeL1Vri1J/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here’s a fun #AnimalFact for #InternationalCheetahDay: The black lines that run from the corner of each eye to the corner of either side of the mouth are sometimes called tear marks or malar marks. The most popular hypothesis about why cheetahs have them involves when the cheetah hunts - day time. More often than not lions, leopards and hyenas will hunt at night and sleep during the day. Cheetahs would rather not have to fight with the bigger predators for food, so it makes sense to hunt during the day. But that means you have to deal with the bright sun. And clearly a hat or sunglasses are not going to stay in place when you are chasing down prey at 70 mph! However, those tear marks can help. It is believed that the black lines absorb the sun and prevent it from causing a glare into the eyes of the cheetah. Pretty handy adaptation for a daytime hunter who hunts in the savannas of Africa. #cheetah #intlcheetahday #cheetahday #wildlifeeducation #animalambassador #sandiegozoo #safaripark #bigcat #bigcatsofinstagram #africa #visitthezoo #wildlifeconservation #zoophotography #instacat #instacats #catogram #notapet #cute #cuteface #spots (at San Diego, California)
