076 - The Bert to Her Ernie with Emily Begué of Southwick's Zoo

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Today the Safari heads back to Mendon, Massachusetts, to visit Southwick's Zoo! But this time the guest isn't Dani Poirier-Larson, but a different crazy bird lady, Emily Begué! Emily and I talk all about what it's like to start a career as a zookeeper, how a mentor is incredibly important (and what to do when you don't have one), and how different practical experience in the field is from school. You'll also meet and fall in love with a parrot named Ernie.
