Parents who want to give their children the experience of interacting with animals in a safe and controlled environment will often choose to take them to a petting zoo. Petting zoos will usually feature a combination of domestic animals and some wild species, such as goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, some reptiles, and miniature ponies, that are small and docile enough to touch, feed, and interact with. People who want to feed the animals will often purchase food from the zoo that is safe for the animals to eat. Many large general zoos will contain a small petting zoo. Some companies will have mobile petting zoos available for rent for children's birthday parties and other events.
