My name is Andrew Stadnik, and I am the owner and operator of AJS Wildlife Solutions. I work in the field with our team on a daily basis, so when you call us, you get real experience on your side, not a guess or a shortcut. We help homeowners, farms, and small businesses resolve nuisance wildlife issues, and we do it in a way that is safe, thorough, and respectful of the animals. I focus on long term solutions, not quick traps that leave you with the same problem a month later. That means careful inspection, a clear action plan, and prevention steps that actually hold up. I specialize in difficult access repairs, hard to catch animals, full remediation after damage, and trained canine assistance for locating and confirming wildlife activity. Over the years, I have built a reputation for taking on the calls that others pass on, and seeing them through until the job is finished the right way. We handle each property as if it were our own and keep you informed at every step. If you have questions about a current wildlife problem, or you want an expert opinion, please reach out.

With more than 15 years of experience in the technology industry, I’ve built my career around innovation, problem-solving, and delivering digital solutions for clients across the globe. But alongside this journey, I always carried a deep passion for wildlife, photography, hospitality, and conservation. My years of exploring India’s forests — including Corbett, Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh, and Panna — taught me the true value of nature, the importance of responsible tourism, and the magic of seeing wildlife through your own eyes. These experiences slowly shaped a new purpose in my life. This passion led to the creation of Jungle Revives. Jungle Revives is where my technology background meets my love for the wild. Today, I use my on-ground experience and storytelling to help people discover India’s wildlife in an authentic and meaningful way — from planning responsible tiger safaris to sharing real jungle stories that build awareness about conservation. My mission is simple: To help people experience India’s jungles the right way — responsibly, respectfully, and with a deeper connection to nature. Through Jungle Revives, I create immersive wildlife content, guide travelers in planning their safaris, and promote conservation awareness so that more people can understand and appreciate the incredible natural heritage of India.

Dr. Bairon A. Madrigal has always had a deep love for animals—especially the unconventional ones. Growing up surrounded by exotic pets, he developed an early fascination with species often overlooked in traditional veterinary settings. That passion grew into a calling, and today, he’s proud to dedicate his life to the care of birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, and more. A native South Floridian (and proud of it), Dr. Madrigal completed his bachelor’s degree with a double major in Biology and Marine Biology at Nova Southeastern University, followed by a master’s degree in Infectious Disease and Global Health from Tufts University. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University, where he also received a certificate in Exotics and Zoological Medicine and was mentored by the renowned Dr. James W. Carpenter. Dr. Madrigal is the Lead Associate Veterinarian at Broward Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital, one of the highest-volume exotic specialty hospitals in South Florida. He has been part of the BAEAH family for years—starting as a veterinary assistant, then extern, and now as a practicing veterinarian. He treats a wide variety of species and has a strong focus on emergency medicine. His passion for exotic pet care is both professional and personal. Having grown up with exotic animals and now caring for many of his own, he understands the challenges of finding accessible, quality care for these unique pets. That insight drives his mission to make specialized veterinary medicine more available to all families. When not caring for animals, Dr. Madrigal enjoys tending to his houseplants and garden, SCUBA diving, hiking with his dogs, and spending quality time with his family and friends. He shares his home with prairie dogs, axolotls, red-eyed crocodile skinks, chickens, ducks, geese, a Rose Breasted Cockatoo, and a thriving reef tank. He’s also an avid concertgoer and loves enjoying live music whenever he gets the chance. His long-term goal is to help expand the reach of exotic animal emergency care while mentoring the next generation of veterinarians.
