Patti Finds Her Hidden Talent!

It is never a quet day at Chimps Inc. The air usually filled with the sounds of pant hoots and calls from the chimps. However, not the other day - the other day it was music in the air!

The chimps had broken one of their enrichment items and inside were all sorts of surprises, one was a harmonica. Patti took a particular interest in it and somehow knew that if you blew into it, it would make noise. When it didn’t play she became confused and brought it to one of the caregivers. The caregiver wiped off the harmonica and it played. Patti then took it back and began playing. For the rest of the day the staff and chimps enjoyed patty and her harmonica.
