Creature COMFORTS
Heather Ahearn, 37, Hertfordshire
A s the eagle I was training swooped onto my arm, I felt an enormous sense of pride at having taught him his latest command.
‘Good boy,’ I praised .
But that feeling didn’t last long.
From the outside my job appeared to be carefree and fun, but the competitive nature of it was weighing me down.
I was an animal trainer and worked with birds of prey.
