I helped move tick-offs to areas where the animals would have more access.
I learnt that a Tick-Off is a contraption with a nozzle that sprays insecticide for ticks onto the animals when they step onto the pressure plate that it is connected to. Two of the tree that we moved was in water we kept it near the water because it is convenient that way when the animals come and drink water they have to walk over the plate. We ensure this by placing branches in their way so that they have no option other than to go over the plate.
I Cleaned animal cages at the Wildlife Centre.
I helped clean out the cages and replacing the hay that they use for bedding. I learnt that this is necessary for the health of the animals because they defecate in their cages so it is potentially septic. I learnt that some of the animals you have to close off from the area you are working in and some you don't. This is simply for our own safety.
I did my first night drive and here I learnt how to use the light and that the things you speak about in the day drives are quite different from the things that you speak if on the night drives. This is because you speak a little bit about the nocturnal habits of the diurnal animals and speak more of the night life there is. For example the Jackal the Hare and the Owls.
