 this Thursday afternoon, which kind of feels like a Friday, just ahead of Easter. Now there is a new booklet if you're going along to Tropical World, which opened for the season last Friday. If you're going along to Tropical World, this is at Alcorns in Lettercanny. And then there's a booklet on your way in. And there's quite a story behind the booklet. And I've just been handed it. It's very colourful. It's very informative. And the story behind it is it's actually a T.Y. student who put it together. And I don't think it was intended to be a booklet, but that's the way it's worked out. And our name is Abby Kern. Abby is from Remelton and joins us now in the studio. Abby. Hello. Hi. Well done on the booklet. Thanks. Yeah. It didn't start life as a booklet, did it? What did it start out as? No, it was a scrapbook at the start. So I made a scrapbook for college. Okay. I'm in leave and sort of at the minute. Yes. Okay. So I made it for applying to colleges. Ah, right. It was going to be used sort of on your application for colleges or on your CVE to college. Yeah, that was a plan. Obviously you have a love for animals. I do, yeah. So what sort of an area or what sort of courses are you thinking of a plan for? Zookeeper now, I think. After working at Tropic World, definitely. That's definitely made your mind up. Yeah, that's made it up. So it was in the form of really a scrapbook. But then somebody was at Clive or John or somebody saw it and said, oh, hang on a second. Clive, yeah. Clive is straight away for it. And I reckon there was a bit of potential. Yeah. Okay. Seeing the ideas. Yes. And now it's come back from Brown Printers and it's going to be available at Reception. And it is, it's very colorful because of your picture of the animals that are at Tropic World. But also information. Information is crucial. There's loads of facts. Yeah. But they're very easy to read facts. So everybody can from Wien's and all they can. Yeah, nothing too long. Not uncomplicated. No, nothing too long or boring. Because you want too many. There's a nice wee fun quiz at the back and all. Brilliant. And all the facts, all the info, you came up with that? Yeah. Yes. I came up with all of it. Brilliant. And what's the plans now? What's the plans for the summer? Are you going to be helping out? Working on the stop. Yeah. There with the animals. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. With the animals more than the visitors. But of both. Yeah, but of both. And are you going to like when you're meeting visitors now and like it's been open, oh, it's almost a week now. And when your visitors are coming around and they've got their hands on the booklet, do you resist the temptation to go, I actually wrote that booklet? Well, it's not on sale right now, but as soon as it is, I feel like I will. They'll be like, yeah, I wrote that. Yeah, yeah. Just turn away. Well, if anybody comments on it, you most definitely take credit for it. Yeah. Clive Alcorons with us as well. And Clive, it's a great idea, whether on spotting the potential of it. Well, it's the potential. When I seen it, as I say, she kept talking about this scrapbook and it says, some Saturday, bring it in with you to see if we look at this scrapbook. So soon as I saw it, I thought, hold on here, there's more to this than this can be made. And it takes tropical word to the next level, because as you go round from page one right through, as you walk, the actual book is in accordance with where the animals are laid out. So it makes it that you can basically, you can follow the journey through tropical words in order. And it gives it a vertical and it also gives a wee bit on conservation. And it really is informative and it's fun. It's, as I say, it's family friendly. This is and it's fantastic to see a young person take, you know, to with that enthusiasm. As I say, it's that's what tropical word. That's what that's what we love for us to, you know, the future is on young people like Abby, who has the passion, who can drive it forward, take tropical word and take zoo keeping to another level. Like it's this is what what we need in the world like this. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Enthusiasm, interest and heart in the right place. And Abby, of all the animals in tropical world, what's your what's your favorite? I can't have a favorite. They're all they're all my favorite. They're all great. Very good. And Clive, you were just saying all fair there that it's already been busy. Now you're expected to be busy over Easter, but already and it's amazing from we opened the door last Friday morning. It's, you know, we're now onto year 12. And like every year we're trying to do something different. And, you know, there's something new. We have toco tokens this year, which are the only pair in Ireland, which is, you know, as people would know as being the Guinness bird. Yes. Well, these are the, you know, the only the only pair in Ireland. We have red belt tokens. And we also have the toco tokens, which is the largest species. It's essentially a mini zoo. I know there's a butterfly house there as well. But what's the most? Okay, you don't in favour of that. But what's the most popular of the animals there? What's what's the ones that have the wow factor and that always get a crowd and always get everybody loves the lemurs. Yeah, right. When you first come in, they'll just follow you up and everybody just be obsessed with them. Yeah, they're cute. And Milo as well. Milo's the cockatoo. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Is that the cockatoo that's holding the pen on the front of the brochure? Is that it there? No, that's Priscilla. That's Priscilla who also actually had a has a story and Priscilla actually came a man and Guido actually owned it and her his younger had it and she was disabled and then his wife took all and he'll hand it to me one day and he says here, can you look after that? Can you look after this bird? And this is where she was created. So his name Priscilla and Priscilla is, as I say, she's a woman's bird. She's not a man's bird. So Priscilla, but Priscilla is very, very perished. And as I say, they're all characters within the whole, the whole thing. You've named them all. They're obviously all characters. They all have their own personalities. It's all like you cast in one great big, yeah, it's presentation. It's all a bit mad, but sure, that's what keeps the interest. Okay, open throughout Easter and beyond, right through until September. It's Tropical World to Al Kornes and to Clive and Abby. Congratulations. Well done on the booklet. Thanks, Clive. Thank you very much. Go full needle for the perfect Easter dinner.
