Welcome Ansley: 2025 Fall Rehabilitation Intern!
Ansley is a huge bird nerd from Georgia who just graduated from UGA with a B.S.A. in Avian Biology and a minor in ecology. Through her college career, Ansley gained firsthand experience handling chickens in both a production and medical scenario—learning all there is anatomy and physiology-wise to hopefully transfer that knowledge over to wild bird welfare.
Ansley hopes to become an avian educator—whether that be through a conservatory or veterinary standpoint—and is looking forward to what the future holds.She has previous experience in wildlife medicine thanks to a study abroad opportunity in Costa Rica. There; she learned first-hand veterinary care for the natural fauna present such as: Sea turtles, two and three-toed sloths, parrots, opossums, and more.
Outside of schooling, Ansley wants to experience every kind of animal possible, and has been able to do so with opportunities such as: 2 years working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic, handling native Georgian snakes for research purposes, large animal experience on UGA’s emergency critical care team, as well as plenty of chicken experience to go around. She is excited to continue to learn all there is about wildlife medicine as an intern at Wolf Hollow (as well as get as many west coast birds for her life list).
