 VOLUNTEER WORK
Volunteers are an amazing group of people. They give up hours, weeks and even months of their time for no money at all. All their hard work is solely for the comfort of the animals and birds at Lory Park. WEEKEND VOLUNTEERS Weekend volunteers are people who give up their Saturday, Sunday or both and commit to Lory Park's working hours. Volunteers need to realise that the bulk of the work required is cleaning enclosures, preparing food and doing basic maintenance around the Park. Only once the Park staff have assessed your work ethics and affinity with animals will you be allowed to handle the animals. PART TIME VOLUNTEERS Part Time Volunteers are generaly people with spare time and are happy to commit to a few days wherever possible, especially during the week to work at Lory Park.
