Fresh coconut was a hot commodity for the royal birthday breakfast forage this morning. Tonight we continue the celebration with vegan Field Roast sliders, sweet potato fries, and sparkling cider! Here’s to Negra on her 44th birthday and the 9th year anniversary of the chimpanzees’ arrival at the sanctuary!
Thanks to all who helped make it such a special day!

Negra and I were born the same year and just a few days apart!
Next year I will have to share my special day with her too! Either way it looks like the birthday girl enjoyed her day with her friends and lots of yummy treats.

Another successful party at Cle Elum! Tasty food, yummy drinks and surprises for the birthday girl. You folks are awesome. I like the way you showed us each of the chimps and how they were enjoying the treats. I recently looked at the video of the chimps before they left the lab and their arrival at Cle Elum and my word!! they are unrecognizable. I love to see now how their hair shines and their eyes sparkle, even their bodies move with intent and joy. What a thrill. Thank you all!!!! for your devotion to these special people.
