This week on Bonifay Banter, Parks and Shane switch it up in a BIG way… 
Joined by wildlife rehabilitator Shannon Gallagher (Flamingo Gardens & Wildlife Rescue of Dade County) and her partner in rescue Yessenia Bolano, this episode is ALL ABOUT THE BIRDS. And trust us—these stories are wild. (The work they do is done under proper licensing with fwc and usfws)
From rescuing toucans and climbing trees to help bald eagles, to getting bitten in the process, Shannon and Yessenia break down what it really takes to dedicate your life to wildlife rescue. This isn’t just feel-good animal talk—this is boots-on-the-ground, hands-on, sometimes chaotic work that most people never see.
Shannon dives deep into how she got started and what it actually takes to become a wildlife rehabilitator. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help injured animals or get involved yourself, this episode gives you real insight and direction.
To mix things up even more, the girls flip the script and put Parks and Shane in the hot seat with a trivia game.
