About
Wilbur's Wildlife is an event services business for hire in Adelaide, SA.
Snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, insects and possums, eight to ten of them, brought to you rather than the other way around. Wilbur's Wildlife runs out of Murray Bridge and travels widely across South Australia, visiting schools, kindergartens, aged care homes, vacation care programs and public events. A presenter handles the animals, shares the facts worth knowing, then gets guests hands on for a pat or a hold. At larger events the animals go into landscaped enclosures so people can wander through at their own pace, with the presenter on hand for close encounters. Species vary from show to show. An indoor space or shade is needed, and a marquee can come along if there isn't any. All presenters hold a police check and a working with children check, and the business is insured.
Watch
The show
Eight to ten native animals arrive with the presenter, and they're the real thing: snakes, lizards, turtles, frogs, insects, possums. First comes the meeting and the facts, the sort of details that stick with people afterwards. Then it goes hands on, so guests get to pat and hold rather than just look. Bigger events run differently. The animals go into landscaped enclosures and people wander through at whatever pace suits them, with the presenter working the crowd for holds and close encounters. Which species turn up varies from booking to booking.
On the day
Not much is asked of you. An indoor room works, and so does an outdoor spot with proper shade, since the animals need to stay out of the heat. If your site has neither, say so when you enquire and a marquee comes along with the show.
