Meet the Team Thursday

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Jaeron, one of our dedicated bird keepers here at the Honolulu Zoo! 🐦🌺

Jaeron works closely with our vibrant toco toucans, Tutu and Guinness, building trust through daily care and positive reinforcement. A big part of his role includes wellness training — helping the toucans voluntarily participate in health checks — as well as supporting breeding efforts for this incredible species. 🧡🖤

Mahalo for joining us for another Meet the Team Thursday! Want to hear more fun keeper chats on your next visit to the Honolulu Zoo? Download the Honolulu Zoo app to see our daily keeper chats and animal feedings! 📱🐾

What a fun day for our spider monkeys! Their keepers have recently added new substrate to their habitat, providing them with something fresh to explore and investigate, as well as fun and tasty lettuce wraps to discover. This kind of enrichment encourages natural foraging behaviors, keeping their curious minds engaged and their bodies active. Changes like this add variety to their environment, help prevent boredom, and support both physical and mental well-being. Watching them dig, search, and explore is always a joy—and a great reminder of how small changes can make a big difference. 💚

Happy National Day of the Horse 🐴✨
Meet our Keiki Zoo miniature horses, Hōkū and Elvis!

Elvis is new to the Keiki Zoo this year, and it’s been so special watching his bond with Hōkū grow. These two were even caught grooming each other — one of the sweetest moments to witness and a true sign of their growing friendship 💛
