We arrived at the zoo early in the morning when the officials of the zoo separated us into 2 groups. 1 groups was in charge of helping out at the reptile section, while the other group was helped at the birds section.
Our group was put in the birds section and quickly, we were assigned to our jobs. Leo Jia Yi and Leo Sheng Wei was in charge of preparing food for the birds, I and Leo Edison were in charge of cleaning up while Leo Samantha was in charge of bird feeding. The Leos were given the opportunity to go "behind-the-scenes" of the zoo and witness the work that is done first-hand. As a result, we came to appreciate the hard work that the zoo keepers put to maintain the zoo in its best condition.
The Leos worked until noon - with a short break in between - and when we were finished, the zoo keepers brought us around the bird cages and even gave us the opportunity for a photo session with a horn bill. After that, we gathered with the other group and had lunch before heading home.
Although the work given was tiring at some parts, we had fun and learn a lot through the activity. Definitely looking forward to more activities like these.
