Today the Safari heads back to Mendon, MA, to hang out with longtime friend and guest, Dani Poirier-Larson.  Along with being the "Mother of Birds" at Southwick's, Dani is also now the mother of a human baby! And I thought that with Mother's Day being later this week, this would be the perfect time to sit down and talk about what zookeeping is like while pregnant, what maternity leave is like when you love your animals, and what being a new mom is like once work starts up again.  This episode goes into that, parenting strategies, and so much more!
