Hi! I am Johnathan.
I joined the centre after visiting and found out that they take on volunteers, I found it interesting and wanted to take on a new hobby and get out more. I have loved the time I have had at the centre so far and I am looking forward to learning more and possibly be able to fly a bird independently and one day talk during shows.
