Mei Xiang and Xiao Qi Ji were in Yard 1 to start the day while they set up the party next door in Yard 2, both were anxious to see what the keepers were doing. Meanwhile Tian Tian was enjoying some enrichment marked 1972-2022. After 8am Mei Xiang and Qi Ji were allowed in Yard 2 and the party began with a cake and special enrichment items! Listen to the crowd react to Qi Ji getting on the hammock, playing with Mei Xiang, and discovering the Jolly Ball!
Enjoy!
