Susan Schmid, also known as Sue, The Bird Lady.
Sue’s fascination with birds started at a young age when she acquired a budgie named “Doodle.” Soon after, Sue was offered a hands-on opportunity to study animals at the Cincinnati Zoo while in high school.
“It set me on a path that forever changed my life.”
Sue went on to work at America’s best zoos and aquariums for the next twenty-five years including the Bronx Zoo where she appeared on Animal Planet’s The Zoo for five hit seasons.
