From early morning bird-watching with his father in country Victoria, to watching tadpoles turn into turtles as a boy, Matt Kettle was always fascinated with wildlife. An unexpected friendship with a Zimbabwean falconer stirred his great love of birds early in his career. He spread his wings with a 12-month opportunity to create Taronga Zoo's QBE Free-Flight Bird Show. 22-years (and two children) later, he still calls Sydney home. As Unit Supervisor of Free-Flight Birds, Matt invites you to look up and appreciate the beautiful, buoyant birdlife in your own backyard.
