christmas tree

Christmas in April

April 8, 2016 by J.B.

Last year, we waited until October to plant the chimps’ potted Christmas tree. Since Jody has been steadily devouring that one, I thought we’d get this one planted sooner. Missy was the first to check it out, but only because Anna decorated it with apple slices.

Today has been another beautiful, summer-like day. Perfect for walking around the hill with friends, both real and imaginary.

Also perfect for enjoying breakfast and lunch forages that included chive flowers, beets and greens, and Negra’s favorite, lettuce.

And when the food was all gone, the chimps took a moment to enjoy the amazing views from Young’s Hill.

x-mas tree forage

January 17, 2011 by Diana

Today volunteer Kim brought over a discarded tree from her friend Michelle. Kim “decorated” the tree with food for lunch. Later, volunteer Pam came and told me about a Swedish holiday called St. Knut’s (or Canute’s). It was on January 13th. It seems the chimps celebrated it well, though a bit late…

Bubbles, glasses, and something suspicious

February 19, 2009 by J.B.

This morning we put out a large bucket of (non-toxic) soapy water, thinking the chimps might want to do some cleaning. Jody had other ideas:

The chimps were also very interested in the eyeglasses (with plastic lenses) that we put out:

Missy, of course, wore her sunglasses on the back of her neck:

Annie seemed content to sit quietly and watch everyone else have fun:

Later, Jamie decided to pull the Christmas tree out of the tire….

….which uncovered something interesting and a little bit scary. Maybe a bug they hadn’t seen before?
