    Hello!

    I am new to joining this forum, but I have visited the site periodically. I am an architectural historian/human-animal studies scholar who researches the role of architecture in species entanglements. I am currently a PhD candidate and in my last year, it has been an exciting adventure to get to do this type of research. I have been a parrot fanatic since I was very young which has definitely helped shaped my desire to understand how architecture impacts them, as my research looks specifically at birds.

    I am a bit unsure what else to say about myself. I share my life with my patient and lovely dog, Gimli. I also play music and have a dobsonian telescope. I try to take photos and draw, but these skills are ever evolving. I am curious to continue exploring the wide range of content on this forum. Thank you for having me.

    Warm regards,
    Natalie

    Welcome to ZooChat, Natalie. Great to hear you have an interest in architecture. I love zoological architecture - especially historical architecture such as that at London Zoo and what remains in Australian and New Zealand zoos (mostly old elephant and giraffe houses).
