The World Bird Sanctuary
would not be able to properly care for our birds
without the help of our staff and volunteers. They are hardworking, dedicated, and most of all passionate
about everything they do. To
show our appreciation, we want to spotlight individuals who make day-to-day
work at the World Bird Sanctuary run smoothly.
As of June 15, 2014 Bobby
Zitzmann has been a volunteer for the World Bird Sanctuary for exactly one
year. Thanks to his dad, who is
good friends with founder Walter Crawford, as well as being a trustee for the
Wildlife Hospital, Bobby has grown up hearing about and being around the World
Bird Sanctuary for as long as he can remember.
Bobby is an extremely
dedicated volunteer. During the summer
last year, he was volunteering at least four days a week. Even returning to school didn’t stop
Bobby’s dedication; he was in here every Sunday volunteering. This past summer Bobby was volunteering
three to four days a week. Now
that schools are back in session you’ll be able to find him working hard in the
Nature Center every chance he gets.
You’ll also be able to
find Bobby’s favorite bird in the Nature Center--Murdock the Military Macaw. Murdock is Bobby’s favorite because no
matter what kind of day you’re having, you’ll always get a friendly “Hello!”
from Murdock.
When asked what his
favorite part about volunteering at the World Bird Sanctuary is, Bobby answered
without a pause that it is helping the visitors and answering any questions
they may have. This is exactly what we look for in our volunteers and staff!
The commitment to all of
our visitors is something in which we take great pride.
We at the World Bird
Sanctuary are extremely lucky to have staff and volunteers who are devoted to
the care of all our birds. Thank
you Bobby for everything you do for the World Bird Sanctuary!
