For the Love of Nesting

July 10, 2014 by Elizabeth

We talk a lot about transformations we’ve seen in the chimpanzees since they arrived at the sanctuary six years ago, both physical and behavioral. But one thing that hasn’t changed about Jody is her love of a good nest. From day one, Jody has made use of every last blanket we’ve provided to build big, soft nests multiple times a day. I’m not sure anything gives her more pleasure.

We included lots of paper in today’s enrichment, and Jody was happy to incorporate it into her morning nest in the playroom.

    That is wonderful! She knows what she wants to use, how she wants to place it, and how to make the ingredients fit together. And, I love the way she settles into it when it’s complete. I love a good nest, too, Jody!

    Nothing is more enjoyable than watching Jody build a nest. As she scans the room for more materials and then once she is satisfied she dives in head first.

    Nest is a synonym for cradle, bed, structure. LOL all and all everyone loves a great nest. Jodi has the greatest nesting skills. She is amazing.

    Coincidence that she is my chimp pal? I think not. There’s nothing I love like a perfectly designed place to take a nap. Way to go Jody!
