Jody and Missy are master nest-builders. I managed to get some recent photos of them making midday nests.
Jody’s step one: stand in the middle of the nest and build it around you.
Jody’s step two: include both sheets and blue paper in the nest for full comfort
Jody’s step three: dive face first into the bed (this movement often accompanied by a “Jody happy noise”)
Jody’s step four: enjoy the comfort you’ve created
Missy’s step one: first see if someone will play with you if you put a blanket over your head
Missy’s step two: if no one takes the play bait, proceed with nest-making by placing blankets around you where you sit
Missy’s step three: unfold and place blankets carefully
Missy’s step four: do a headstand
Missy’s step four: roll into a comfortable position and enjoy

Diana, these pics and your commentary are priceless!! 2 different chimps decorating their bedrooms in completely different styles. I forgot how much fun it used to be to stand on your head in the middle of your bed. I’m going upstairs right now to try it!!
Great shots!!!

Fantastic pictures and commentary. I wonder what the headstand is about.
Monica says

Diana — You have outdone yourself on this one!

Comfort and Joy!!!

Amy G. – I think the headstand is mostly about Missy being a goof, though Jamie also frequently does headstands. Isn’t it so great that the chimps feel free to just do a headstand when the moment strikes them?
Anna says
