Another rainy day in new jerseyToday was another rainy day which meant working from home, today I searched craigslist for a chicken coop, shed, or bunny hutch for either really cheap or free. Finding items like this allow the farm to take in more animals in need of rescuing. I also worked on building the hamster cage that is my final project for this externship. The cage is made out of a clear storage bin, wire mesh, screws, nuts, bolts, washers. The tools needed to build it are a drill, a ruler and a marker. I finished completing it today and got in touch with a rescue that has hamsters available for adoption. I plan on picking up the hamster either friday or over the weekend. This hamster will be socialized and rehabilitated a lot, this will allow Tevaland to bring it with them on trips to schools and events. My job is to get the hamster socialized and used to being handled so it will make the event easier on the hamster and the people working the event. Daily reflection
Lunch with the other internsOn wednesday after a Tali and Friends event three other interns and I decided to go get lunch. We planned on going to Tito's burritos, but changed our minds quickly to the pancake place next door. The pancakes were huge!!!!! The interns and I have become very good friends and one of them happens to be attending UCSB in the fall for college. I really hope we stay friends. :)

Makenna albanoMy name is Makenna Albano and I am a senior at High Tech High International, I am attending Colorado State University in the fall and I am majoring in animal science. I have a lot of experience with animals but not as much with larger animals and farm animals. For my senior year externship I chose to fly to New York and work on a farm that rescues and rehabilitates all kinds of animals. I am very excited to get the farm animal experience, at this farm they have all kinds of animals such as goats, horses,bunnies, cats, chickens, pigs, rats, ferrets and more!!! |
