The person behind WILD MOMENTS

Not just an animal keeper.
A father.

Beri Kirsh, born 1997 — from Israel, at home in Tyrol. The white winters and the deep green of summer: a landscape I never wanted to leave.

Many paths. One calling.

I have done many things: building pergolas, construction work, electrical systems for buses, working as a waiter. I enjoyed every one of these jobs. But none of them truly fulfilled me.

Then WILD arrived.

Not as a plan. Not as an idea. WILD came during one of the hardest phases of my life — and he is the reason I am still here today.

Why I do this.

Not for shows. Not for attractions. I created WILD MOMENTS because I witnessed too many cases: animals passed from hand to hand within weeks. People who were not truly ready to take responsibility. Animals who suffered because of it.

I want to prevent that from continuing — through real encounters that leave a lasting mark.

“There is no way I am getting a parrot at home anytime soon.”
— The most beautiful sentence I hear from guests. Again and again.

No circus. No performance. A real experience.

When I work with schools, hotels, or groups, I do not put on a show. WILD and Skippy might do a trick or two — but that is not the point. If you are looking for an attraction, hire a magician.

But if you want the people with you to have an experience they will carry for the rest of their lives — I am the right address.

My philosophy.

Live and let live. Animals have the right to exist as they were meant to — not as we want them to. That is why my parrots do not talk. If I wanted someone to talk to me, I would have chosen to live with humans.

I try to be with my animals 24 hours a day. Since 2017 I learn something new every day — no formal training, but over 8 years of lived experience.

People around me call me the parrot man. I am fine with that.
