About Me

edit

I'm Riley, a huge zoology nerd with a focus on ornithology. Some interests of mine include zookeeping, zoo architecture and habitat design, and science education. I'm currently in college for a BS in zoology. Alhough I live in the US, I really hope to move to Ireland soon.

I've been a vegetarian since 2012, but support the ethical consumption of meat. I am generally not aligned with any vegan ideologies and much prefer animal welfare activism to ARA (I am anti-PETA). Please support your local farmers!

I'm also aromantic asexual and nonbinary. I'd like people to refer to me with they/them pronouns.

Some of my hobbies include drawing, playing video games (Minecraft, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing are some of my favorites), and reading (primarily non-fiction & reference books).

I'm new to the editing side of Wikipedia - please let me know if I'm doing something wrong!
