But I have to make a comment I should have made when I first saw the blog-Bill,you’ve used the estimate costs for feeding our animals that appear on our website-and I must apólogize to everyone,because I didn’t update those costs.When we started the website we only had 4 monkeys,but now we have got 11,and some of them still get daily baby mik,cereals,and all of them PVM so they have a strong immun system-which is very important,as they have contact with many other animals and,what’s most “dangerous”for them ,with people.So now we actually spend about 50U$monthly in food for them.
On the other hand-although we now have 4 macaws and 9 parrots we spend less on their food than we did a few years ago,because meanwhile our parrots fly around a bit,we planted many fruittrees for them and spend now ‘only’about 30U$ in nuts,eggs,sunflowerseeds etc per month.
Concerning the manatee-right now the low water season has started,and that’s when we have to get lettuce for the manatee-in high waterseason we can get water hyazints from the river and only spend some time and gasoline in getting it.Now there isn’t anymore access to the waterhyazints-and unfortunately we cannot grow it in our ponds,because the water is too clean-so we have to get other food for Marbino.We’ve tried it already with other weeds,with watermelons etc-but what he really likes is-organic lettuce from Lima….
We don’t spend much money in feeding the anteater Rosa-but we have to pay the young man who walks her 10 Soles(3U$)daily,besides she only gets her oatmilk as a treat when people want to see her and take pictures.
I will send these new details to the lady who does our website-I should have done it long ago-but as I don’t have a PC,I haven’t looked at the ‘old pages’for a long time and didn’t change a thing.Sorry Bill-whatever is wrong with the numbers-it’s my fault for not checking earlier,maybe you could change it.Excuse me for not telling you immediately!

I would also like to sponsor the monkeys' costs in memory of my mother, who worked with siamangs. I take it that's the best way to donate as I won't be down again until March. Bill, save us some space on the boat then as well as at least one trip to the butterfly farm. Dave's working on a presentation for the pink dolphin recordings and is eager (obsessive?) to get more.
