    Since early childhood I traveled to many zoo. I worked in East Berlin in the Tierpark and later the Berlin Zoo Aquarium. After that I moved to Namibia.

    Now I want to buy my own zoo and hope to get lots of feedback from zoo owners, keepers and visitors :)

    Yes, we are just waiting for the pest and building inspection. Besides this we are checking all the paper work, registrations ... at the moment.
    Hopefully everything is ok. The place is very close to the QLD border - Parrot Garden. Not a big zoo, but it could have some potentials to be a small animal display again. I'll have my own animal collection anyway to start with and add some marmosets to do similar things like the previous owner. I do not plan to have bigger cats eg., just birds, reptiles and a petting zoo. Lets see what the future brings ... Besides this I like to start with Animal Assisted Therapy in cooperation with some local organisations.

    Da können wir ja auch auf Deutsch schreiben :)
