Yesterday we celebrated Dora’s 36th birthday! Caregiver Kelsi planned Dora’s party and made sure that we had all of her favorite miniature foods stocked for the occasion. Everyone enjoyed baby bananas, mini apples, baby lettuce, mini carrots and mini cucumbers in honor of ‘Lil Dora!

Sounds like she was MOST pleased with her birthday lunch! Especially the drinks!
Happy Birthday, Ms Secret Sauce!
Oh my goodness, Willy B’s love for apples never dies! If he eats them like he eats lettuce, then he must look like Mr Peepers!:laughing:
A beautiful day for it!
Was that Willy B with three, say that again, three! heads of lettuce? Oh my goodness. Too funny. But I love to see the comfort he has in taking his three heads of lettuce out to the Bray. He truly has come so far.
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen Dora hoot hoot hoot! That was impressive! Happy birthday, sweet girl?
And I love that you gave everyone a little piece of the spotlight. Cy couldn’t even stop his reading to eat. He’s such a nerd. LOL
:heart::heart::heart:
I wish a happy birthday and an enjoyable and healthy new year of your life.
Happy Birthday, sweet girl. It looks like you and your chimp friends had a hootin’ good time. Thanks, Kelsi, for all the food. Even Cy put down his magazines long enough to enjoy the day.
As always great party. Even had one chimp with hands full so carrying a vegetable between the toes is also a big help if you have to climb stairs. Happy birthday to our sweet petite girl.
Happy Birthday, Dora:cake::sparkling_heart: with your pals making your day memorable and special; just like you.Thankyou everyone at the sanctuary for honouring each year of our beloved chimpanzees’ lives and making their birthdays a right royal gala. Wish I was there to enjoy the fun.
It looks like they all enjoyed Dora’s party. Thanks for doing all the work that goes into planning and preparing each birthday party ?
So much love:heart_eyes:
Thank for the BD party post. Heartwarming.
Wowza! I’ve never seen Dora sooooo excited! Clearly she knew the special luncheon was all about her! I love the menu of little food for little Dora. She was so cute eating on the stairs, made for a perfect chair and table. It’s always fun to see everyone enjoying a party menu. Cy might be the only guy who chooses to browse through his reading materials instead of chomping away on his head of lettuce. Speaking of lettuce…..I hope Negra’s side of the building celebrated Dora’s birthday too.
May happiness fill your year dear Dora. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Lil’ Dora :birthday:
What a great party, makes me want to just put out heads of letttuce for everyone at my next shindig.
Happy birthday and lots of pant hoots to the tiny, but feisty Dora! Nothing like a fun party filled with your favorite foods!
(Also Cy cracks me up! I don’t know many chimps who are more excited by magazines than the meal in front of them!)
Happy birthday dear Dora! It sure looks like a wonderful celebration in your honor. All your favorite foods and friends.
Thanks to everyone for putting this special party together.
