The Animal People

We are The Animal People—the people who come to your school, corporate event, museum, birthday party, nativity scene, and anywhere else that welcomes animals and the excitement they bring with them.

Our team of animal professionals have a passion for life and want to share it with the world, including a biologist, animal hand-rearing expert, and other dedicated animal experts. We work with over 30 different Animal Ambassadors including birds, reptiles, mammals, and more!

Invite our animals and expert handlers to any event or venue in Sonoma and the San Francisco Bay Area.
