Our many thanks to Martha Sikaras for this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in celebration of her husband, Chuck!:
“This day is sponsored to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Chuck has been my life’s partner for over 27 years. From the day we met, he has been committed to the protection and safety for the world’s great apes”.
Happy Birthday from all of us here, Chuck! Thank you both so much for including the chimpanzees in your special day and helping to make their days special as well.

Happy happy birthday, Chuck! Let’s have a chimply awesome day!
Thank you, Martha!
A happy anniversary of your public debut to you. May the two of you emulate Rayne and her boyfriend Willy and inspire play faces in each other’s presence.
Celebrating with the chimps, can’t think of a better way to enjoy your special day. Cheers!
Many-many happy returns of the day, Chuck! Wishing you and Martha joy and good health.
Happy birthday Chuck!
Is that a recent picture of Rayne and Willy Boy?? If so, they certainly have reconciled very well since that fascinating “disturbance” the other day!
Hi Paulette, Rayne is one of the few who can step in and navigate Willy B’s behaviors quite well and they often have fun interactions. And like any chimpanzee relationship, especially involving this guy, there are off days as well. 🙂
