Nesting with George

August 7, 2025 by Anna

When George first arrived at CSNW he seemed very hesitant to interact with any of the enrichment items we provided him. He’s come a long way from those early days and has shown interest in certain clothing items (like socks and headbands), paper towels, books/magazines, boxes with food in them, paper and crayons, etc. One thing that we finally got to see him do after about a month of living here was start to build nests!

Here are just a few of his nests:

Diana was recently able to capture this photo of George sleeping under a plaid blanket:

Bonus: George on the Bray today!
