Veterinary Nurse Keanu
Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, Certificate III in Animal Studies
Keanu is a qualified veterinary nurse with experience in both general practice and exotics. His interest in unusual pets started young, growing up around his parent’s canaries. Over the years he’s cared for a wide range of species including rabbits, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
He has a particular interest in anaesthesia and pain management in exotic species, as well as avian husbandry and handling. He enjoys supporting nervous or fragile patients—especially birds and rabbits—and takes pride in creating calm, low-stress experiences for them in clinic.
Hobbies and Interests
Keanu proudly describes himself as a “bird nerd” and is deeply involved in aviculture, keeping and breeding various species of Australian parrots and finches. He has successfully bred cockatiels, kakarikis, rosellas, lorikeets, hooded parrots, red-rumped parrots, princess parrots, Bourke’s parrots, scarlet-chested parrots, elegants, and turquoise parrots.
Hand-rearing neonatal birds has become one of Keanu’s specialties as an aviculturist, a skill he enjoys immensely. He is always willing to share his knowledge and answer any questions related to breeding, hand-rearing, and avian husbandry.
Despite his busy life with animals, Keanu finds time to unwind by watching anime and Korean dramas. He is also passionate about tropical houseplants, maintaining a collection of rare aroids.
