Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, is refusing any movie deals that include leaving her native Australia.

Her manager John Stainton released a statement that the girl will stay at the Queensland zoo founded by her dad. With all of the offers presented to the nine-year-old khaki-wearing environmentalist, none outside the U.S. would be accepted.

It has been just over six months since Steve Irwin tragically passed away and his widow Terri says that she is still struggling with the adjustment.

The American-born, Australian-based mother of two escorted her daughter, Bindi, to the "Nickelodeon 20th Annual Kids Choice Awards". She told PEOPLE, "It's extremely difficult. Part of me is still waiting for the day that he walks through the door."

Bindi Irwin has said she wants to become a "wildlife warrior" just like her late father Steve Irwin.

The eight-year-old animal lover - who is currently on a tour of the U.S. to promote her upcoming TV show - happily described some of the world's most dangerous animals as "sweet and gentle."
