Listen "Extended Flight with Matt Kettle "
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textFrom early morning bird-watching with his father in country Victoria, to watching tadpoles turn into turtles as a boy, Matt Kettle was always fascinated with wildlife. An unexpected friendship with a Zimbabwean falconer stirred his great love of birds early in his career. He spread his wings with a 12-month opportunity to create Taronga Zoo’s QBE Free-flight Bird Show. 22-years (and two children) later, he still calls Sydney home. As Unit Supervisor of Free-flight Birds, Matt invites you to look up and appreciate the beautiful, buoyant birdlife in your own backyard. "I feel like Taronga has offered me so many opportunities beyond just working with animals. I feel very lucky to be able to be paid to work in something that’s brought me a lot of joy… a lot of satisfaction."
