Happy Birthday, Negra!

The Queen of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest turns 41 today, and as you might have guessed, we threw a party – an English tea party, to be precise. Volunteers Patti and Steph even cut the crusts off the sandwiches. Negra enjoyed a forage on the hill this morning before the weather turned bad, and then she was treated to a greenhouse full of extra straw and blankets for nesting. The menu for today contained all of Negra’s favorites: bread, lettuce, nuts, avocado, and sweet potato, among many others. She even got night bags at every meal.

We do a lot of celebrating around here, but nothing means as much to us as Negra’s birthday, and no one deserves to be spoiled more than her. She is, after all, the Queen.

Happy Birthday, Neggie.

    I’m so happy Negra was able to receive a night bag with every meal on her birthday… thank you caregivers for doing that,! I know , how much Negra loves the peanuts, seeds, and nuts in those bags,
    It must of made her so very excited and happy, I can only imagine her food grunts and claps for more. Love you Negra,
