    So I've been on this forum for several years now and I've always wondered one question. It may have been asked before but of the 12,000 plus members on here, how many are actual real paid zookeepers??? I've seen people who speak in nothing but scientific names and ones that can't even spell the common name. People that say this zoo is horrible or this zoo is great or this zoo should do this differently. People that have been to just a couple of zoos and people that have been to zoos around the world. Who is a real zookeeper( and what zoo if you don't mind saying)??

    I'm a real zookeeper, but I don't feel comfortable posting where I work on a public forum. Sorry!

    I'll answer any other questions, though.

    No longer a keeper, probably too old. Got a few birds at home though, and still a zoo nerd.
