Windswept and Interesting
22nd May 2009
Blair Drummond’s keepers are constantly coming up with new ideas to improve our animals’ enclosures and recently there have been a few upgrades to the African Savannah elephant enclosure.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know that I enjoyed my day as a zookeeper enormously. I had no idea I would be allowed so close to the animals (especially the lions!!), and the whole day was beyond my expectations. Ben was a perfect host all day long, and could not have been more helpful.
Please pass on my thanks and regards to your colleagues, and rest assured I will be recommending this as an experience to any animal lover.
Thanks again,
Eileen
