Wanna Flock?
It's the 21st century version of getting toilet
papered . . . but it's all in good fun for a great cause. The Utah Chapter
American Association of Zookeepers is managing the migration of this
unique flock throughout the
Salt Lake City
Limits, fundraising to promote professional animal care and wildlife
issues.
For a designated donation, zookeepers will flock the yard of
your choice. Keepers will return within 72 hours to capture and relocate
these birds. Surprise your family, friends or foes with a yard full of
bright, pink flamingos! (Sorry, our birds cannot be placed on public
property or at apartment complexes.) "Flockers" will deliver the birds to
the unsuspecting yards, usually arriving unnoticed, under the cloak of
darkness. Imagine the priceless look on someone's face when they discover
these creatures taking sanctuary in their yard!? The recipient will be
left with your personal flocking message, care instructions and the
number for our flamingo rescue hotline.
Tell your flighty friends how much you flocking love them. We
would be tickled pink to help you celebrate new hatchlings or 25 years of
flocking together. A little bird told me your friends will love it!!
The flock moves out May 2008!

Keeper for a Day
Program
Have
you always wanted to be a zookeeper? Well here is your opportunity!!!
Utah's Hogle Zoo and the Utah Chapter of the American Association of
Zookeepers is excited to provide a once in a lifetime opportunity to work
with a zookeeper for a day. What is your favorite animal? You can work
with a wide variety of animals including giraffes, small primates,
hoofstock, small mammals, birds, small cats, reptiles, and even
butterflies! You will work side by side the keepers and animals,
providing fun enrichment toys, observing training sessions, as well as
animal behavior. You will be given one on one opportunities to touch a
penguin, feed a giraffe, and see some of our wildlife ambassador animals
up close and personal.
For $150 (non-members) and $125 (members) you too can be a zookeeper for
a day! (Program runs from 8am-1pm). Remember, zookeeping can be a
rewarding but strenuous and dirty job- be sure to come prepared. Lunch is
provided, along with photo opportunities with the animals, keeper for a
day t-shirt, and an experience you will not forget!!! Participants
must be at least 18 years old.
For more information call (801) 584-1784 or email us at
utahaazk@hoglezoo.org . All proceeds
from this fundraiser go toward AAZK projects related to education,
conservation and welfare initiatives.
