(upbeat music) (bird squawking) (cat meowing) - Frank, who's a little sausage dog is absolutely brilliant and his nickname's Frankums which just makes him even cuter.
(laughing) - There's also a dog called Ruby a Labrador who she'll be sat there and you'll go a stroke and before you've even managed to put your hand, your hand on her head to stroke her, she's just down on the back waiting for her tummy to be rubbed and it's just the cutest thing you've ever seen.
She's so sweet.
- There was this amazing parrot we heard during the animal show called Jerry.
- What a wonderful.
- Oh pretty boy.
- And varied turnout.
- You have to work with extraordinary animals that are trained to do things.
Generally they do it, until they don't want to do it anymore.
- I've had the odd small animal crisis, trying to work with some cats who didn't want it to do what I tried to tell them to do.
One crawled down my back and the other sat and purred very nicely.
- I was terrified when I first met Clive the bull, who is like ton and a half and his head is like the bonnet of my car.
And I had to show that this is something that I do every day.
You know, Helen worked on a farm, she's grown up on a farm, this is her bull.
It had to feel organic and natural and the only way to do that really was quite literally take the bull by the horns and commit to it.
- It's very important not to be frightened around a horse because a horse has a sense that extends into you.
You're working with things that are invisible the aura around an animal.
The thing I learned quite quickly was to get out of the way of anything that was standing up, whether it was a cow or a horse.
- I know how to pick up a chicken like that.
I can just scoop it right up, pick its wings up and you know what's really cute about holding a chicken if you stroke its head, it falls asleep.
It's amazing.
- Just don't look him in the eye.
