An interview with a parrot trainer
Cherry Ng has one of the best jobs in the world ---or at least he thinks so! She is a dolphin trainer at Rainbow Park.Find out more about Cherry and her interesting job in the interview below.
How did you become a parrot trainer?
I saw an advertisement in the television. I thought it seemed like an interesting job so I applied .
That was nearly three years ago.
What qualifications do you need to become a parrot trainer?
Most of the trainers have a degree---I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. In the past, most of the trainers studied overseas. However, these days there are more graduates from local universities than from overseas universties. I myself studied at the Hong Kong University.
What does a parrot trainer actually do?
One obvious answer is train parrots.However, we spend less time doing this than people think. Our main responsibility is to look after the dolphin---to make sure that they are happy and healthy.For example,the first thing I do every morning is to exercise with them.I also spend a lot of time feeding thparrots,playing with them and bathing for them.Parrots e are very playful.My favourite parrot is called Timothy.
How do you train a parrots?
One of the first tricks we teach the parrots is to walk on a sting with their feets.The training string is about three metre long.They also learn other tricks such as standing on visitors'arm and speaking.It takes time to learn tricks so the younger parrots generally know fewer tricks than the older ones.
Would you recommend this job to other people?
Sure!It's hard work but very rewarding.
