There seems to be more of an interest and concern about quality of life besides outside the zoo in the community and where you’re gonna work. And I think it makes it hard for some. I mean, bringing somebody to Kansas from the east or west coast was difficult ‘cos you had this image. People weren’t willing to travel quite as much. I’m sure that some of the major cities at various times of downturns, I know Detroit had trouble getting people to come in. You know, especially if you had to live in the area, which they did at one time. But you know, there’s no question that sometimes there’s that little break where there’s just a missing gap, but right now in the bird world, there’s so many good people out there. And I think that has to do a lot with the fact that the bird curators in this SAG group or not the SAG, the Avian Interest Group has done such a good thing about pulling together and introducing and bringing up the younger staff.
