Today is Rayne’s 33rd birthday! Please enjoy today’s video of all the chimps celebrating the exciting occasion! Rayne is confident, beautiful, sweet, a friend to all, a gentle groomer, a “mall walker”, and an impressive nest maker (just to name a few). We hope she enjoyed her special day!
We’d also like to thank Paulette Wrisley for sponsoring the day for Rayne’s birthday. Thank you so much, Paulette!

Oh, hosh, the.pics with lemon/mango and biscuits wadged made me laugh! Thanks, Jenna and Paulette!
Linda C says
Jody must plow through coconut! She’s always asking someone for some of theirs…..A shame that Burrito won’t share, like Foxie might! Bubba was holding tight!
Kathleen says
Burrito was not just holding tight, he turned his back on poor peering Jody. Enough said! :laughing:
Linda C says
I wonder how long she kept at it! something tells me she had already had a piece and was looking for more
Kathleen says
Happy birthday sweet Rayne!
Rayne loves headbands?! Well why didn’t you say so sooner?! Now I know why Annie has been all decked out. Anticipation of todays celebration. I like the way Rayne stacks her colorful headbands on her ankles.
What a celebration! On both sides!!
(Thank you, Jenna, for the great video and all these photos!)
Judy says
Happy Birthday to a beautiful lady!!! I love the photo series. And what a scene with Burrito clearly keeping his coconut.. that back turn is a classic. Don’t think you’re gonna starve Jody!!!! Nice try though.

Thank you once again, Paulette, for your generosity in sponsoring a birthday party. I think that our Raynebow Lady demonstrated that she can celebrate in style.
Paulette says
I know right? I saw a new side to her.

Happy Birthday Rayne! This video of the birthday girl celebrating her special day with everyone is precious. I love how she carefully picks out her attire and then finds a place to snuggle up in the sunshine with her favorite waistbands. It looks like a good time was had by all. Thank you so much for sharing this special day with us. It’s wonderful to see the joy of all the chimpanzees!
Jane McDowall says
Oh i could have cried so many happy tears for the wonderful love and care and thoughtfulness you givecto our amazing cousins. Each day we see the love you give them, from a small thing to a fantastic burthday party. I know we only saw a tiny fraction of how Rayne was loving her party, and how everyone was included, but to see her and her friends enjoying everything is a wonderful sight to behold. Happy birthday beautiful Raybe.

Kim Harris says
Pauline, thank you for sponsoring this wonderful birthday party! And Jenna, thank you for capturing so many great pics and videos of the festivities! It’s as if you were able to get Rayne to model for you, capturing all the best party poses!
Everyone was sure excited for today’s party. It’s always a joy to see them enjoying life. Thanks for wonderful blog!
I’m curious, what is the typical differences in winter temps between their greenhouses, indoor front rooms, and higher mezzanine and treehouse areas? Seeing Rayne all cozied up, soaking in the rays makes me think of sitting on a porch swing on a beautiful crisp fall day, bundled up inside a heavy quilt, enjoying the world around me.
I think Wlly B loves mangos more than I do. He was sure enjoying today’s mango!
I didn’t realize we had another fashionista in Cy’s group. You rock that red, Rayne (my favorite color)!
