Today was such a beautifully sunny day that we just HAD to do a lunch forage out on Young’s Hill. The grass is getting so lush and green that when Jamie’s group got access early in the morning, some of them almost skipped breakfast because eating grass was more enticing. When lunch time came, all group members sprinted outside fast and YES, even Neggie went out to grab all the carrots and chow that she could and then went inside to happily nest with her findings. Annie wore a head band around her waist, which we consider to be the official Spring time indicator, and she ate all the forage placed on the treat rock. Farmer Jo feasted inside the green house with as much produce she could possibly carry inside in one trip, and then went out for more! Jamie was very adamant on letting visiting crows know that today’s forage was not up for grabs, and then found all of the peppers that were put out in the forage. Burrito and Missy also enjoyed the forage by wandering all over the hill eating whatever they could find and also climbing almost all the structures on the lower side of the hill. If you ask me, today was the perfect for them and for all the caregivers. Sunshine is just an amazing mood boost for everyone 🙂

I am so happy for everyone! It looks like a magnificent day. I have to say, the produce you serve to the chimps is always the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Simply gorgeous, and your food display photos make me hungry.
Thanks for sharing this special day with us. Love all the photos.
The beets are so pretty, as is Annie with her waistband!
What a lovely day!
Thank you, Sofía!
I see Foxy brought the baby for a ride and did I see right ….are those scallions ? I love scallions….gotta get me some:grin:What a Gourgeous Day
gorgeous:crazy_face::grimacing:
Loved the pictures of the food and the chimps. when I came to the picture of Foxie I felt such a sadness thinking of the real babies she could and should have been able to carry on her back. 😥
Well we have to plan ahead for Foxy’s Birthday …..I think it’s in August. She needs more Babies….. I Wonder …..are her favorites Trolls or Strawberry Shortcake Dolls?….. or some Newfound favorites:relieved:
The answer is “yes!” + Dora and friends
Aw. Burrito’s smile is precious! I can’t wait for the other nine to enjoy a forage in sunshine. It will be so much fun watching them experience their new Bray. How’s that coming???
I second that question Paulette:hugging:
now that I look at the food again, I have a question. Was there more corn in the bottom of that bowl? how do you put out one ear of corn on a forage and not expect a riot?!
I second that too:grin: I think that’s what they call a teaser corn
I love Foxy and i have to thank my son who told me about a chimp who loved dolls and who would go round her friends giving them a doll if they were t feeli g very well, and so this is how i cane to know Foxy and friends. Does she still give her friends a doll to hold, or does she like to keepthem close to her at all times? Beautiful Annie, such a wonderful lady and of course they are all wonderful, as are the fantastic care gives who really show how much they care by the smallest thing, making lunch look amazing for them.
