Aviary Update
This afternoon I worked at the aviary. I started back last week and forgot to blog about it! I was really nervous, considering that I sent an email to the co-worker and friend I was concerned about back when I was sick, and she never replied. Who knows what I'd encounter?
It was lovely on all accounts. Last week the people I wondered about weren't there, and those who were welcomed me back with open arms. They were so happy to have me and grateful for the help. I got to be in with the penguins pretty much the entire afternoon, which was also really cool (even though I was cleaning them, and boy are they smelly!)
This afternoon I was back with the bird show department. I did lots of cleaning of the bird show birds, got to watch a gull training session, and made a bunch of parrot toys for enrichment. I bumped into my friend and, though nothing was spoken about the email, she was friendly as can be. I realized that I need to just get over whatever it is that I have felt there. Stick to what I'm good at- and birds are what I'm good at. It is fun, I enjoy it, and they appreciate me there, which was very obvious to me over these past two weeks. So all in all I am feeling very good about itl!
