Crikey!
November 15th is Steve Irwin Day!
A day where we put on our khaki and remember our original Wildlife Warrior
Steve Irwin.
But it's time to do my favorite thing and catch our zoo crew for some questions.
Let's go find them.
Good morning, Maddy.
Hello Mel.
Hi. Hey, quick question for you.
What does being in the khaki mean to you?
Being in the khaki what it means to me...
Well, it's definitely not a colour, it's more so an attitude.
So that's what it means to me.
Yeah, that's beautiful.
Thank you so much, Maddy.
Have a great day welcoming all our guests into the zoo.
[Maddy] I will, thank you Mel. [Mel] Thank you.
[Maddy] Bye.
Oh, my gosh.
Bindi, Chandler, Grace. Hi!
Well, it's Steve Irwin Day coming up,
probably the most important date in our calendar,
but I do have a question for you.
I was wondering what it means for you guys to be in khaki.
Oooh. [Chandler] That's a big question.
For me, khaki means family because that has always been our colour.
Our uniform of choice and I have grown up wearing khaki as Grace will too.
She has her khaki shirt as well, but today she's rocking the animal dress.
That's so beautiful. And Chandler, what about you?
I think for me, it means legacy.
You know, this is what Steve wore.
It's what are Australia Zoo uniforms are modeled after.
And when you see khaki, you immediately think Steve and his legacy.
So that's what it means to me.
I love that. Grace, what about you?
[Bindi] What does it mean to you Grace?
What do you think?
What does khaki mean to you?
She's like, I don't...
...I don't understand the question.
Thanks! Amazing.
Livia, good morning.
Hey, can I bother you and ask you a quick question?
Yeah, go for it.
What does being in the khaki mean to you?
Oh, struth. It's probably working all these amazing animals
and providing the best care for them here.
Yeah, we do love our emus. Well have a beautiful morning with the boys.
Oh, will do mate.
Hi, Eric.
That's a good point.
Hey, Darcy.
Good morning.
Can I bother you for a quick question?
Yeah, I just want to know what being in the khaki means to you.
Khaki represents the greatest Wildlife Warrior family in the world.
It sure does. They are amazing and how lucky we are to work here hey.
I know. Very privileged.
Well, have a beautiful day looking after your cats.
Hey, Cameron.
Good morning.
You're...you might not be wearing the khaki right now,
but this is a khaki related question
and you're definitely a part of the khaki crew.
What does being in the khaki mean to you?
It means everything to me.
It's my job, my life, outside of my family of course.
Yeah, it's pretty much everything.
Yeah, you're a bit of a legacy family, too.
You've got your whole family in the khaki as well.
Yeah, they've snuck in here over the years.
Yeah, it's really nice actually going past them all day.
Thank you so much, Cameron.
Wait, Michael.
Hi. Stop.
I have an itching important question for you.
Now, we would love to know what being in khaki means to you.
Conservation, environment and pride to wear the uniform.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
Can I interrupt your lovely bike ride to ask you an important question?
You can, indeed. Absolutely.
What's your important question?
What does being in khaki mean to you?
Being in khaki means
representing all things Wildlife Warrior.
We always say khaki is not just a color, it's an attitude.
And for me, it means being an absolute warrior, I reckon.
Have a good day. See ya!
Hi Darren. How's it going?
Good. How are you doing?
Yeah, pretty good. I have a question for you if you don't mind.
What does being in the khaki mean to you?
Well growing up in the U.S, obviously this was all I knew of Australia.
So we all grew up watching Steve and knowing what he stood for
and having the opportunity now to wear that to work every day
is absolutely amazing.
You put that very nicely, that's so true and I love that.
Well thank you for letting us borrow some of your time.
Aha. Bert.
Good morning, hey.
[Bert] How are you guys doing?
We're pretty great. We just had a really quick question.
We're wondering what being in the khaki means to you?
Oh, excellent question.
Yes. So I mean, I guess
being here, being able to be a vet and being able to participate
in the welfare and the rehabilitation of these animals and to bring that and to
share that with the people who come to visit
Australia Zoo really means a lot to me.
Yeah, that is so amazing.
And you do amazing work here at the wildlife hospital.
Thank you so much for your time, Bert.
[Bert] No, thank you very much. [Mel] Have a good one.
Well, there you have it.
Don't forget to mark November 15th in your calendar for Steve Irwin Day
and pop on your khaki shirts. We'll see you next time.
