Vet Nurse Keanu
Certificate III in Animal Studies, Commencing Certificate IV in Veterinary
Keanu’s passion for exotic pets began at a young age, inspired by his parents’ canaries. He spent hours watching them in the aviary, and this early experience sparked his love for exotic animals. Over time, Keanu developed an interest in a wide range of species, owning rabbits, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and even arachnids.
Driven by his fascination with exotic species, Keanu decided to turn his passion into a career. He completed a Certificate III in Animal Studies and is now working towards completing a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
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.
