Stuart Gudgeon
If humans were able to soar like an eagle then the sky is where you would find
Stuart, our
Head Bird Keeper. Completing a Bachelor Degree of Leisure Management, Stuart began full-time work at Australia Zoo in September 1997. Other than the normal duties of cleaning enclosures, preparing diets, feeding animals and enclosure maintenance, Stuart also helps out Steve and Wes with the general maintenance of the zoo. When asked what he likes best about his work he comments: "We are doing something to help animals and the environment -- it is not just a normal job where you work your hours and get paid. Our work has a purpose."
