Celebrating SKY’s 28th birthday!
They say the sky’s the limit, and at Project Chimps, that’s especially true when it comes to Sky herself! Today, we hope you’ll help celebrate her 28th birthday with us and get to know this special chimp.
From the moment she arrived at Project Chimps in 2017, Sky seemed to have a passion for climbing. She climbed a tree on her very first day out in the forested habitat, and that was only the beginning! Often, her caregivers find her perched up somewhere high rather than on the ground, usually upside-down! She hangs from the top of the enclosure by her toes, which is her favorite way to play.
According to her caregivers, Sky has had a great year. She enjoys spending time in the habitat and in Harmony villa with her good friends LB and Babs. She likes to play with the other female chimps in their group as well. However, one thing she doesn’t like is when she has to wait for her breakfast or dinner items. When this happens, she’s sure to voice her displeasure, whether that’s by hitting the mesh or making loud raspberries!
Sky also makes amazing nests out of wood wool, paper, and cardboard! She’s also a big fan of fluffy blankets and isn’t picky about the color. She loves all food and enrichment, but the one thing she’s not fond of is grape juice.
Today on October 27th, we hope you’ll help us wish Sky a happy 28th birthday! If you’d like to send a gift, please consider some nesting material from our Amazon Wishlist. Whether you send a gift or make a donation in Sky’s honor, thank you so much for supporting her care!
Happy birthday, Sky! Here’s to another year reaching new heights here in sanctuary!
