Today is officially #BirdDay and we're celebrating

Today is officially #BirdDay and we're celebrating our wonderful aviary residents! Many of the birds at our sanctuary were previously kept as pets...but now they are able to use our spacious aviary which gives them room to fly and express their wild behaviors. Some of our longtime aviary residents include a five-and-a half foot tall Sarus crane, Nicabar pigeon, ibis, cockatiels, love birds, conures and blue and gold macaws! Learn more about them and see how you can sponsor a bird today on our website. 🦜 ❤️

Our care staff and 300-plus animals want to thank

Our care staff and 300-plus animals want to thank the Gaynelle and Gene Rankin Endowment Trust of the San Antonio Area Foundation for the generous $20,000 grant it provided for operating expenses. The grant helped Primarily Primates continue to provide all the essentials—food and healthcare, enrichment activities that stimulate wild behaviors and habitat maintenance. “SAAF is proud to support Primarily Primates because of the continuous improvement of their facilities and the great care for the primates who they have rescued and for whom they provide refuge,” said Marjie French, CEO of the San Antonio Area Foundation. @saafdn

Our rescue mission was a success! Here's a quick peek of a few of the 12 animals we brought home to Primarily Primates after rescuing them from a roadside zoo in Indiana. Everyone is adjusting well, but will require some rehabilitation before being introduced to the other animals currently at our sanctuary. Your support is crucial, so please consider making a donation today to help with our efforts! Link in the bio. ☝️

All aboard! With the heat index being in the triple digits here at the sanctuary, we thought delivering snacks on boats would be an excellent way to keep everyone cool! How’s that for a “grape” idea? 🍇
