November 15 is the day to celebrate the life of the greatest #wildlife warrior whoever lived. Happy Steve Irwin Day everyone!! What an amazing man, and what a legacy to pass down to his equally amazing children. Thank you for all you’ve done and all that you continue to do in your name. #steveirwin #steveirwinday #happysteveirwinday #wildifewarrior #australiazoo #myhero #mysuperherowearskhaki #conservation #conservationeducation #wildlifeconservation #zoo #zookeeper #zoolifestyle #zoolife #zookeepersofinstagram @bindisueirwin #terriirwin @robertirwinphotography @wildlifewarriorsworldwide @australiazoo @chandlerpowell #zooeducation #wildlifeeducation (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWUGTf3PUwT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey there! Sorry I haven't had new art to post. I've been sick 🤧 and pretty much immobile. I'm hoping to have some new stuff for you soon, but in the meantime there's a new post on the blog. I shared my parting words as I left my dream job to give some people insight as to why I moved. A few of my favorite animals are featured in the post too if you want to check it out. Also feel free to ask any fun zookeeper related questions! I could always make a blog post answering them in the future.

Sometimes I get to work with #cats at work. Daisy and Mercury would make the cutest #kittens ever. They really are such good looking animals. Also, you’ll never forget their scientific name: #Lynxcanadensis. #canadianlynx #lynx #canadian #cat #catsofinstagram #lynxofinstagram #zoo #zookeeper #zoolife #zoophotography #zoolifestyle #zookeepersofinstagram #lifeofazookeeper (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nOjM0JgAH/?igshid=itny4wgwxryd

This is me, especially at work. Am I right, my fellow #zookeepers?! 🤣 #zoolife #zoolifestyle #zookeepersofinstagram #zookeeper (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEz8ea6pweL/?igshid=6voapxn8nlo1

The @thequeenszoo is so pretty this time of year. It’s a shame that nobody gets to see it. On the other hand, it’s kinda nice that the #flowers get to thrive and are not being pulled out and trampled on by the public. #zookeeper #zoolife #zoolifestyle #zookeepersofinstagram #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tulip #daffodils #daffodils🌼 #daffodilsofinstagram #sealioncafe #queenszoo (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B--WAcLJUMy/?igshid=dx019b9gh5lh

I guess this about sums it up. The animals still need to be fed and cared for. No such thing as a snow day or even what is happening now with #corvid19. All WCS parks remain open until further notice. #zoo #zookeeper #zoolife #zoolifestyle #zookeepersofinstagram #queenszoo #wcs #coronavirus #essentialpersonal (at West New York, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9qCReSJOaq/?igshid=ys7jyfx1k5y8

I know the @LIParrot 2019 Expo was a couple of weeks ago, and I still have a bunch of photos to post. We can start with this amazing raffle prize that I wanted to win sooo bad and WON!! I almost walked right past it at first to be honest - I thought it was a drawing. But omg, then I noticed it was actually #embroidery. Someone had embroidered #parakeets and I NEEDED to own it. Couldn’t be happier! The first picture is it’s fully framed gorgeousness, but if you scroll through the pictures, I have zoomed in on it for your viewing pleasure. #zookeeper #zoolifestyle #embroideryart #embroiderersofinstagram #needlework #needlecraft #crossstitch #crosstitcher #crossstitchersofinstagram #parakeet #parakeetsofinstagram #budgies #budgiesofinstagram #parrot #parrotsofinstagram #birds #birdsofinstagram #birdsofaustralia #birbs #birbsofinstagram #Melopsittacusundulatus #rafflewinner #longislandparrotsociety #longislandparrotsocietyexpo #longislandparrotsocietexpo2019 #LIPSExpo #lipsexpo2019 (at West New York, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GMoiuJ6zX/?igshid=1ub443vgxaiab

Usually today would be my Tuesday, but a three day weekend made today actually a Monday for me. And boy was it ever! What a crazy day working on two different installations and having a vet visit and a procedure on top of it. *sigh* At least I got to hold the most adorable Thick Billed Parrot chick. I deserve a hot shower and a nice glass of wine. #zoo #zookeeper #zoolife #zoolifestyle #livingthedream #lovingmyjobevenwhendaysaretough (at Queens Zoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VbuYapkUI/?igshid=1pjzk16fywbvf
