On today’s show I have Sunny Nelson, Curator of Birds at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL.
We talk about how she got started in her line of work, her work with the Bali Mynah, and her interest in combating the exotic pet trade through education.
We also discuss one small simple step you can take to ensure you don’t accidently contribute to the decline of exotic species.
