During our introduction process, we try to limit visual access to the other chimpanzees in order to provide the newly introduced group with some privacy and minimize interference from other groups. We’ve added privacy panels to spaces that the chimps have access to, like windows inside chimp spaces, because they are pretty “chimp proof”. But in other spaces that the chimps can’t access, like windows in human areas that look into chimp spaces, we use curtains or kraft paper. When Cy recently moved in with George, we added kraft paper to the window adjacent to the cubby in the mezzanine. As many of you know, the cubby is Honey B’s favorite spot!
Honey B was not on board with the addition of paper on HER window.
A few days ago, when Honey B’s group was hanging out in the mezzanine while we cleaned other spaces, she decided to do something about the offensive paper. Unfortunately, the only tools available in the mezzanine were empty chow bags from breakfast and lunch. Never fear, Honey B persisted and found a much better tool.
Please enjoy today’s 327th episode of Honey B’s hi-jinks!
Do you think Honey B is successful in removing the paper?
Couldn’t help but rise and applaud the ingenuity and creativity, once again, of Honey B. She is AMAZING?:clap::clap::chopsticks::wink:
TADA, for sure. There is no defeating the ingenuity of Honey B. She epitomizes “where there’s a will there’s a way.”
YOU GO!, Miss Honey B!
omg… LOL!!!!!!!!! ?:honey_pot:B!!!!
Classic Honey B caper! She’s determined that’s for sure! Once her mind is on something, there’s no stopping her!
No matter how many enrichment things you give them, Honey B will always find her own, and it’s usually mischief! She is just so intelligent that I sometimes have to watch the videos several times to make sure my eyes are not playing tricks on me. What a lady…..beauty AND brains. Go Honey B!
Honey B is unbelievable. That Paper Caper took extreme patience and determination. When she rolled over on her side and then on to her back so she could attack the scene from a better angle, I had to laugh out loud. Man, Honey B was not going to give up! A job well done!!
Clever girl, Honey B.
Better double check the privacy panels – remember she has form for removing them too!
Oh, my gosh! Honey B is the epitome of persistance, patience and most often – success…she is amazing. I smile with you, Honey B to a job well done!
What “other spaces that the chimps can’t access” did you mean excactly????
Did not count on Ms. Honey B did you?
What a woman!
Don’t mess with HER cubby and the value of her real estate!
This reminds me so much of “contraband”.
I love how Mave and Willy B just sit back and let her cook.
Mave still looks bored.
“Contraband”, for the new people:

Linda, thanks for including this link to an original high jinx caper of Jamie’s. I love this video! Especially the way her Consigliere and Soldiers play along, with Jody playing both sides as she “innocently” seeks a wee bit of assurance from the onlooker.
OMG!!! I can’t beleive she got the paper off the window. She is a ingenius and so persistant. What a little devil. She is tooooo smart for her own good. You have to watch her every minute. Its never a dull moment with Honey B. I love that you titled the video Hi-jinks Episode 327. This was just hilarious. I just love these videos. The chimps and their individual quirky personalities are so wonderful to see!!!!
Those silly humans. When will they learn? Good enrichment though.
ROFLMAO!!!
I sure wish I had Honey B in my childhood. We would’ve had a blast pranking all my brothers.
