Bewdley's 'throuple' of lorikeets

Available for over a year

Hear how the West Midlands Safari Park has its share of LGBTQ+ animals, including a pair of gay penguins! Vicky McFarlane from the attraction near Bewdley in Worcestershire looks after the sea lions, penguins, lorikeets, reptiles, fish, bugs, bats, red pandas and marmosets. As Deputy Head Keeper of the Discovery Trail, she answers Elliott Webb's questions, finding out how common same-sex couples are in wildlife, and why some animals aren't wholly monogamous.
