Leila-one of my two Servials I'm mummy to


Another quiet week. We had 6 people leave on Wednesday, which was sad as we had all become so close. We have new people now, who are still settling in. I am kept fairly busy, being group leader (for cleaning rounds in the morning and afternoon), Servial mummy and aviary manager.

A typical day is as follows,
Up at 5.30 to start aviary at 6 (I do this about 4-5 days a week, when I’m not on aviary I have to check that everything has been done after each shift, at 6, 12, 2 and 4)
Aviary until about 6.45-7
Morning rounds and clinic clean until 8.30
Feed Servials
Breakfast until 9.30
Daily Cleaning duties (this includes cleaning the big cats camps or feeding cages) until about 10.30-11.30
Feed Servials at 12, then either help in aviary, or check it has been done
Usually time to ourselves until afternoon rounds, although sometimes we will go into town, or have an injured animal come in.
Lunch from 12.45 until about 1.30
Either do aviary or check it at 2
Afternoon rounds and clinic clean from 3 until about 4.30-5, including aviary if I am doing it
Feed Servials, and check aviary if I’m not on it after rounds
Shower and relax until 6.45 when we go down for dinner
Get back from dinner at about 8-8.30 and feed servials.

I am usually in bed by about 9.30, and wake about 4am but am to lazy to get up then, and just listen to the birds and animals calling to each other.

Sundays we generally have off, and just have to do morning rounds, afternoon rounds, and I have to check aviary and feed the servials, so you get from about 9.30 until afternoon rounds to relax
