Bindi Irwin

I guess, growing up at Australia Zoo and getting to travel all over the world, I have this great outlook on life, and that's what I hope I inspire other kids to have.

So many people have touched my heart and made an impact on my world. I'm thankful for every lesson and learning experience.

As I'm getting older, I'm really learning unconditional love and loyalty are extremely important.

My favourite thing in the world is going out to get Chinese food, then coming home and renting a movie.

I have the most beautiful souls in my life supporting me and helping me to follow my dreams. I love them more than I can ever express in words.

A lot of people don't know that Dad was quite a scientist, and he was so clever.

I'd like to continue to spread my message on conservation and make sure my dad's message - his legacy - lives on.

If there's one thing I really want for my birthday, that is for the mining company not to mine my daddy's reserve.

I love having my birthday at Australia Zoo.
