Unforgettable Exotic Encounters
meet the animal expert
Hi, I'm Stacey and my journey with exotic animals began over 27 years ago, driven by a lifelong passion for animal care, education, and conservation. What started with one very special parrot, Jake - who is now an impressive 32 years old and still very much part of the family - grew into a deep commitment to understanding and working with a wide range of exotic species.
From birds of prey and reptiles to mammals and invertebrates, every animal in our care has been introduced responsibly, following extensive research, hands-on experience, and a strong understanding of animal behaviour and welfare. Sharing this knowledge and passion with others led to the creation of our exotic animal encounters, which we have proudly been delivering for over 17 years.
With years of hands-on experience, we deliver safe, engaging, and fully supervised animal encounters designed for learning, confidence-building, and unforgettable experiences. From educational school visits and professional corporate events to gentle, supportive sessions for phobia sufferers, every encounter is handled with care, patience, and deep respect for animal welfare - ensuring both people and animals feel comfortable and secure.
