Happy Birthday, Burrito!

by Debbie

For B’s big day we centered everything around his favorites: food, food, and more food! We spread out the meals into many different portions so that about every hour the chimps had a quick snack. We also had a small forage in each of the enclosures, so it was basically Burrito’s dream come true—a way to eat pretty much the entire day away.

Here’s some photos of the birthday guy’s first party in the greenhouse, where we had a chow and tea forage:

And then in the playroom we had more tea, some blackberries, and lettuce to snack on:

Thanks to all of Burrito’s pals for helping make this day great for him and again to Tracy and Jenny who sponsored the day!

      That’s a hard question — he just loves all food! But the things that get him most excited are cooked sweet potatoes, any prepared meal like oatmeal, rice, or farina, and bananas.
