EMERGENCY VET



This is our next text about Unit 3: Work and Play


EMERGENCY VET

Sarah Green has got an interesting job. She's a vet. Vets are doctors for animals. But Sarah isn't an ordinary vet. Her speciality is birds. She works with swans, geese and other big birds. She rescues them.

'Swans are beautiful birds', says Sarah, 'but they are not always clever. Sometimes they land on the ground and they can't take off again. Swans need to be on water. They can't take off from the ground. When they walk away from the water, they get lost. Sometimes they walk in the road. So I come and rescue them. It's my job.'

Sometimes big birds land in people's gardens. People call the police and the police call Sarah. Sometimes the birds are hurt. Perhaps they have a broken wing. Sarah looks after them until they are better.

'I work with other animals too. I look after dogs and cats when they are ill. But birds are my speciality. I love them'
