00:00Hi, my name is Seth Falk and I'm the owner here at Hands-On Exotics and we do animal
00:19therapy programming here in Toronto, Canada.
00:26Our mission statement is to provide homes for animals that didn't have a great place
00:38to live and be able to do fun work with them.
00:45We bring our animals out to nursing homes, retirement homes and we work with children
00:54with different needs, basically anything that's looking to have a positive animal interaction.
00:59What's really special for the participants is that they get to connect with such a beautiful
01:16and intelligent animal and have a lot of fun.
01:40People can disappoint you but not animals, it comforts them because as long as you're
01:47gentle and kind with an animal they will be gentle and kind with you.
01:58There's a benefit for the parrot because instead of sitting in a cage all day they're out meeting
02:02new people and being social which is something that's really important to them and having
02:06fun and being loud.
02:08And for the participants that we work with it's just really fun and engaging and exciting.
02:18I get special moments every day in my line of work but one of my favourite was when I
02:22was working at a nursing home and they didn't know the lady spoke English, she was always
02:26speaking Russian I believe and then I brought the animals in and she started speaking in
02:31full English and telling me about how much she loved the animals and they were finally
02:37able to communicate with her and it really opened her up.
