Meet our team:

- Makenzie Ferrier MSc

Makenzie is one of our two founders and current shop manager at The Nature Nook. He has a MSc in Conservation and a passion for all animals, domestic or otherwise. In his free time he is a keen crafter; many of our collars, bandanas and hammocks were made by him! You'll find him behind the counter with Jimbo the Amazon parrot most days a week, probably sha

ring some food.

- Alex Woods

Alex is the second of our two founders. While she has unfortunately had to step back from the business for the foreseeable future, she was still instrumental in it's birth and helped to make the store what it is today. She currently works at Paignton Zoo as a zookeeper, working in the reptile and amphibian section! She is also an amateur wildlife photographer and total parrot enthusiast. If you pop into our store you'll get to see her two conures in our aviary, Heidi and Rumple!

We've had £205 worth of entries for our switch 2 raffle which is way more than I thought I would get!

I'm also going to be adding some £1 tickets which will get you 2 entries for people who want to spend less than £5 entering.

You can enter from anywhere as we'll be ordering the prize to be delivered directly to you from the supplier so please don't think you need to be local to Paignton to enter.

I thought we'd buy a good sized prize this time in the hopes that it would attract more people and it seems to be working well so far! Thank you everyone ❤️

Two of our newest arrivals are settling in well at their foster home!

They've been absolutely ZOOMING around the cage. It looks like they're very energetic and are going to need a significantly larger cage than normal to meet their needs when they're finally ready to find their new herd.

Thanks to Bracken Lockett for offering them a fantastic temporary home.
