I am a specialist nature educator and wildlife rehabilitator. My background includes a life long interest in wild animals and conservation, a Degree in Biology from Murdoch U. and lots of learning and practice in the areas of training and presenting. I am a member of several professional organisations in these areas.
I run two endeavours: Perth Raptor Care which is my volunteer work to rehabilitate injured birds of prey (raptors); and Raptor Presentations which is my business. Raptor Presentations aims to raise community awareness of local wildlife, encourage conservation and allow people to access the benefits of nature.
My journey to this point includes moving countries / states four times before the age of five, rescuing my first bird age 6, being the shyest kid in high school, getting a license to keep non-releasable (disabled) raptors to use for education and starting my business at age 28.
My birds live here at my home along with my free range lawn mowers (cavies) a pet rooster, a german shepherd dog, two mice, one canary and one man. My facilities are off limits to the public since everyone but the dog dislikes strangers wandering around our backyard all the time!
While I can’t have you over to tour the place, I welcome you to cruise my blog, join our Wild Watcher community, donate to Perth Raptor Care or book me to give one of my unique educational presentations. Have fun!
