Usually prefer animals to humans, but some humans are special ❤️ Parrot conference all day then @robmadge02 @mysonsaqueer at night. The one and only signed impact report in the whole world 🤣. A wholesome day! ❤️ by @edzoocationltd

Whilst most of the birds are staying under their shelters, the kookaburras are fully embracing the rain 😄☔️ These 4 are doing well in their initial flight training ready for next year! by @edzoocationltd

Most of the birds are staying fed up and having a break with the ever changing British weather. This gives me chance to start work with one of my newer birds, a male common buzzard. Being a U.K. native he’s more than capable of tackling these cold damp days!

Long term he’ll be flying for demos, but had a great first visit to Marske Hall earlier this week, where he mostly sat settled and content on the glove 🦅 #buzzard #commonbuzzard #britishbirds #britishbirdofprey #hawk #buteo #zooeducation #animaleducation by @edzoocationltd

Patience - the most important skill in animal training ✨

Progress with the rescue harris hawk as I’ve opted to work him year round through his moult (this is why he’s got tail feathers missing)

Here we can see he’s landed on the floor.. calling him to the glove is a big no as this would reinforce him landing on the ground!

After pondering for a minute or 2 he returns to the perch, turns and recalls to the glove instantly. He’s starting to understand the relationship between landing on the perch and the glove being presented 😊 by @edzoocationltd

Hermit crabs dig underground to molt their old skin and grow, sometimes they can stay under for over 6 months! So I added some new crabs today to increase the chances of always having crabs available.. these are Ecuadorian hermits, related to my purple pinchers but are much more active!

Crabs are available for viewing on educational bookings only as they need high humidity so can’t be out of a humid travel tank for long! Possibility to handle in small groups for invertebrate sessions 🦀 by @edzoocationltd

The perfect day for tortoises to spend some time outside! Here’s one of my critically endangered radiated tortoises with 2 redfoot tortoises. These 3 will be heading out to teach about skeletons next week! (Skeleton image credit: PCPeters on Flickr) 🐢 by @edzoocationltd

⁉️ Did you know - invertebrates need to shed their old skins to allow them to grow. This Mexican red knee tarantula just moulted today, here you can see her old skin on the left 🕷️

Invertebrates are super interesting and I can easily fill 1 or 2 hours up teaching solely on this topic! Kicking off next week with a full days teaching invertebrates at a local school! 🦋🪲🐜 by @edzoocationltd

Caracaras are very inquisitive birds… can you tell 🤣 full clean and regravel for these as they’re showing signs of nesting, so I’ll be leaving them alone for a bit! This female is VERY picky but is starting to warm up after many years of their relationship, with her sitting on the (empty) nest last season for the first time, but it’s a start! Caracaras will be available for bookings outside of breeding season, a very interesting and intelligent species! by @edzoocationltd
