I misspoke in this video referring to the Pelicans as “Penguins.” I obviously know the difference but apparently my mouth got ahead of my brain. These are Pink Backed Pelicans and Saddle Billed Storks and Steve is giving them fish for food and enrichment:

I’m back at the Cincinnati Zoo and settled into Steve and Carol’s Fabulous stone cottage. It reminds me of the house Jackson Pollock and his wife rented out in Long Island right before he became the “new rising artist” of the 20th century. I had an 18 hour day getting here…I had to get up [...]

I’m returning to the Cincinnati Zoo on Monday to work as a keeper in the Bird House. I’ll be there for three weeks doing what I do best: hosing down enclosures, cutting up fruit, feeding the King Penguins, artfully arranging food in a bucket for the fruit bats, and washing mountains of dishes. It’s a [...]

Kim Klosterman Hanging the Kea toy in the indoor enclosure Last week I sent a big toy to my friends the Keas at the Cincinnati Zoo. The staff had a pretty good time watching them beat the living hell out of the thing. The Zoo has some Keas in an outdoor enclosure for up close [...]

I’ve been incredibly busy trying to get photos taken and I’ve had so many people to talk to, I haven’t had time to get a post together. So here are some photos to give you an idea of what’s been happening until I get some time to write some items up: Why is Max in [...]

The sheer volume of work at the Bird House is overwhelming if you stop long enough to think about it. And if something odd comes up, and you have to cope with that along with your normal routine, well, you just deal with that as well as everything else. Just producing enough food for close [...]
