It’s always been my dream to organise a travelling ambulance for stray animals in the UK. However, I would also like to learn about exotic animal medicine, particularly how to help birds. I’ve read a lot about how beak and feather disease affects parrots. I’d like to learn how nutrition – giving birds lots of minerals and vitamins – can help birds with this fatal illness. Although they can never completely recover, giving these birds foods such as bananas and papayas can help them live longer lives. Have you got any experience with animal medicine? My mother is a vet and I love spending time at her clinic. Although I can’t treat the animals, I’m able to contribute in other ways. We sometimes receive terrified animals. For example, we once received a seriously injured dog. He had walked onto a motorway, and although a car had hit him, he had survived. I made the atmosphere as peaceful as possible for him by playing classical music. I’d recently read some research explaining how music can be used to affect the behaviour of different animals, and music therapy can also be used to help animals overcome pain. Scientists have been studying the effects of different types of music on various animal species, including cows, elephants, gorillas and dogs. Music helps dogs feel less anxious and according to my mum, if I hadn’t played music for the injured dog, it would have been more difficult to operate on him. Since then, this has become my job at the clinic. Have you got any questions about the activities or accommodation? 40 Will there be a chance to watch operations on animals? Also, will the participants be staying in hotels? If I get the chance to stay for two or three nights with a local family, it will be very exciting. Would this be possible?
