Details
Description
This is an ostrich farm operated by a farm enthusiast, Farmer Seng. I love animals and I've been operating various farms for the past 12 years. It's located in a popular tourist attraction on the Desaru coast, Johor, Malaysia. There are more than 20 ostriches in the farm and many domestic animals like rabbits, genuine pigs and goose. Workawayers can have fun outings to the seaside and enjoy the nice scenery. Workawayers will help with simple maintenance of the ostrich farm such as preparing feeds, feeding and caring for animals, guiding customers and help in the kitchen for employee meal preparation.
