Some birthday treats for Aiko!
(Most all of her food she washes in her water bucket before eating)

Very windy, hail and rain today in Southern California. We took some of the hail (pea-sized) and made a ball and gave it to Aiko to play with. Before we could get a photo, she took it into her house to play. It melted pretty quickly. When the wind gusts come, she does her play jumping (jumps on all 4βs). She is loving the wind. She is pretty well protected by the roof on her enclosure.Japanese Macaques-aka Snow Monkeys, in their natural habitat make snow balls so it is a natural behavior for her.
She is not a fan of the camera, so we did our best getting videos.More in comments
