first day as a volunteer

Yes a sunny day in oktober was the day. My first day as a volunteer. I have joined the ranks of the unselfish people by voluntering my time in a useful way.

Or kind of at least. I am now a volunteer at de roofvogelboerderij, a bird of prey farm, but not really a farm, they do not farm birds of prey, but the property used to be a farm.

It was cold, so very very cold. I have been spoiled with this amazing summer we had and all of a sudden it is cold. Even with four layers on it was still cold. And the birds don’t mind at all. They are wearing their down coats and doing good. The Bald eagle’s even went with its feet into the water.

No way I was going anywhere near that water.

So what did my voluntering consist of. Well first some cleaning, checking the toilets for enough toiletpaper. dismembering close to a hundred one day chicks, feeding some birds of prey, cleaning the baths of the birds. And the with this temperature very important jobs of heating up the soup and the hot coco.

But all in all it was a fun, exhausting day.
