Work with us
We are hiring for the bird department.
Exotic Bird Caretaker
- Pay: starting at $14 an hour
- Hours: part time, with an opportunity for full time
- Schedule: Friday, Saturday and Sunday
- Location: 8103 Racel Street, Las Vegas
We are looking for a dependable, hardworking animal lover to join the team.
The job starts at three days a week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, while you train. Once you can run the bird department’s duties on your own, there is a chance to move into a full-time position. Our bird department cares for a large flock of parrots: macaws, cockatoos, African greys, Amazons, conures and other species.
What you will do
- Prepare and serve daily diets for the birds
- Provide fresh water and keep food and water dishes clean
- Clean cages, aviaries, floors, perches and surrounding areas
- Watch the birds for changes in behavior, appetite, droppings or overall condition
- Provide enrichment and help maintain toys and perches
- Work safely around parrots of many sizes and temperaments
- Follow our cleaning, feeding, sanitation and safety procedures
- Help move or handle birds once properly trained
- Keep doors, cages and aviaries secure to prevent escapes
- Report any health or behavior concerns to management
- Help with other animal-care tasks when needed
Who we are looking for
Parrot or exotic bird experience is a plus but not required. We will train the right person.
- Reliable and on time, every time
- Available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday
- Comfortable around large, loud and sometimes unpredictable parrots
- Patient and willing to learn each bird and its behavior
- Able to follow detailed animal-care instructions
- Observant enough to notice small changes in an animal
- Comfortable with a lot of cleaning and physical work
- Able to work independently once trained
- Willing to work outdoors, including in the Las Vegas heat
Experience in animal care, vet clinics, shelters, rescues, zoos, sanctuaries, boarding, or with your own parrots is a plus.
Please know: this is hands-on animal care, not time spent holding or playing with birds. Much of each day is cleaning, preparing food and maintaining enclosures. Safety comes first: you will follow our rules on handling, sanitation, doors, locks and enclosure security.
