Bunjee-jumping squirrels…goldfish playing footie…slugs that clean your bathroom…all in a day’s work! Then there are racing bees, squirrels re-enacting your favourite movie moments and starlings mimicking your mobile ringtone.
These are just a few of the ways Will Work For Nuts shows you how to turn the animals all around you into a menagerie of talent. It’s all based on the natural behaviour and instinctive flair of the pet on your carpet or the beasties in the back yard. Who needs exotic animals and complicated training tips when it’s this simple? Follow the step-by-step instructions, soak up the insider secrets and soon you’ll be helping our furry and feathered friends tap into their natural talent for showing off!
Every stunt has been tried and tested. Some of these things are easy, others are hard. Not for the animal, they’re just doing what comes naturally. The clever bit is your department, getting them to perform as planned. And if they do that, you deserve all the credit. Oh, and this isn’t cruel. The animals that take part are just showing off what they do every day, in pursuit of the one incentive we humans can offer in abundance…food.
About the author: Matt Cole is a producer for Tigress Productions, creators of the Will Work For Nuts TV series, and a source of incredible knowledge about animal behaviour – most of it very useful, some of it downright weird. Matt lives and works in Bristol.
