An extra video today. As you might know from my community post yesterday, it was Silverback Oumbi's 30th Birthday. Happy Birthday Oumbi.
The staff paints a few 30th on the windows with some food paint. Oumbi watches from the inside waiting for the doors to open up. Unfortunatly even before Oumbi comes out one of the banners has already fallen to the ground. It was attached with sticky food and was a bit too heavy. Oumbi was most interested in the lettuces which he took and sat by the hut. Standing there with the bum towards me you can slightly see him twitching. Warning the others to stay away. Shufai came and he knew exactly where to look for more treats. He removed all the wood wool from the hammock and found a fire hose which has some leaves in it. A bit later, Lope, Oumbi's older son runs towards the water. Shufai follows his brother. Lope gets all the sticky food stuff, the 30 made out of food, that is on the rocks. As Shufai comes closer, Lope runs at him and hits him. Shufai rolls backwards. Biddy sitting in the middle. Shufai quickly climbs down to get any leftovers. Both the brothers run to the food puzzle which has some sticky stuff in it. Ozala, their mother is climbing down from the tree to get some treats as well. It doesn't take long until Lope is back at the puzzle. Lope is being clever this time, he has got a stick which he uses to get some more out. Ozala is now by the pool and she grabs all the pieces that are in the water which you don't see too often. Meanwhile Shufai is jumping on the window ledge and is licking off all the sticky stuff from there. Lope is watching him. Now Shufai is even standing up on the ledge to get some more. He's the only one that can still do this. The ledge is too small for Lope to balance on. Even Shufai hasn't got much room and when he loses the balance a bit he jumps down. Lope was just about to get some of the window himself when Oumbi came charging, which made him run the opposite way. Shufai jumped back up and had some more. Oumbi found the piece of paper that was stuck to the window and is licking off the sticky stuff. When he has enough he throws it to the side, but Shufai finds some more sticky stuff on the discarded sign. Lope was just about to go back to the puzzle, when Oumbi comes charging at him again. Oumbi isn't interested in that green puzzle, he just wanted the lettuces. He goes back inside and Shufai drags the sign inside. That's when Asante has a look at the green puzzle hanging off the tree. Before Asante goes back inside she tries to get some more of the sweet stuff off the window with her finger. Oumbi has a last look towards window with the 30 on it.
