Meet Fig and Twig, our new green aracaris! Thank you to our awesome team and all who voted for the winning names! Fig, our male, is all cuddled up inside his favorite snuggle spot, while Twig with her gorgeous “orange eyeshadow” is busy beaking around.

These affectionate aracaris LOVE their people and have really been bonding together as well!

Come visit them at the Memorial Butterfly Garden Gazebo at Global Wildlife Center!

Animal Care Specialist Paula has been working with Madeline on target training, using positive interactions to keep her engaged, mentally stimulated, and comfortable working alongside her caretakers. 💚

Safe to say these two make a pretty great team!

NAME OUR NEW FEATHERED FRIENDS!

Meet the newest residents of our Butterfly Garden Gazebo: a male and female green aracari! These pint-sized members of the toucan family have already stolen our team's hearts, but there's just one thing missing… their names!

Our Global Wildlife team submitted their favorite name ideas, and we've narrowed it down to three pairs. Now, we're handing the final decision over to you!

🌿 Fig & Twig
💚 Chiqui & Tito (inspired by chiquitito, Spanish for "itty bitty"!)
🌱 Pesto & Basil

The female is pictured first, followed by the male! Cast your vote in the comments for your favorite pair of names! Voting ends on Thursday, 10/22 at 8:00 PM. We can't wait to see what you choose! 🦜
