In an Animal Planet special, set to air in August and titled Crikey! It’s the Irwins: Life in Lockdown, the Irwin family address the financial struggles the zoo has faced during the pandemic.

In a trailer for the upcoming TV special, Terri Irwin says the zoo’s typical weekly payroll totals $400,000, which accounts for 52 per cent of the business’ income.

‘The pandemic has severely affected Australia Zoo financially… I can’t even come close to paying bills. We’re having to stand down staff and it’s very emotional,’ Terri says.

What’s more Bindi Irwin and her husband Chandler Powell forfeited the money for their honeymoon to keep the zoo operational.

‘We had originally planned to do a road trip for our honeymoon,’ Bindi says, adding that she and Chandler agreed to instead stay at the compound and look after their 1,200 animals.

Australia Zoo reopened to the public with social distancing measures in place earlier this month, on June 12.
