Today is the LAST day to snag your limited edition Sam, I Can shirt!

We’re so excited to share that the Sam, I Can Foundation is part of the Here For Good campaign with Jūpmode and our limited edition design is officially LIVE!

For those who aren’t familiar, Here For Good is a short term fundraising campaign where Jupmode partners with local organizations to create exclusive apparel. They handle all the printing and shipping, and a portion of every sale comes directly back to support our mission. 💚

The campaign runs now through March 22nd. It’s a pre sale, which means all orders will be collected first, then printed and shipped after the campaign ends. Many orders will ship in April.

Whether you’re local or cheering us on from somewhere else, you can order and have it shipped directly to you!

This is such a fun and meaningful way to support the Sam, I Can Foundation while helping us build momentum for the big things ahead. We can’t wait to see you wearing it. 😎

Stan is interacting with the foraging ball.

Let us share with you the behavior we are observing and monitoring as we shape Stan's foraging behavior with this acrylic ball.

After half an hour of swimming around the tank, we edited this video to show you this. At first, he is floating. Watch his right eye. We are. We are observing how his eyes move and what happens after. We want to know how his eyes move and what his behavior looks like when he observing something. After a few moments of him looking at the ball, he moves in. After he plucks the shrimp from the ball, it floats away. Watch what happens after the shrimp is moved by the water flow. This tells us movement is a reinforcer for him going after the food. Reinforcer identified.

Next, we see him trying to break the shrimp into a more edible piece. He intentionally goes to his rock on the right to break the piece apart. We can adjust tools and intended usage within his aquarium, the new aquarium that you, our viewers, and supporters have helped us get for Stan!

Stay tuned. More to come!

Ready for some fish foraging toys this morning? Let me show you what we are implementing for Stan, our education parrot cichlid. If you want to know more about Stan, take a look at the recent fundraiser for him titled "A Bigger World for Stan."

An acrylic ball with holes that twists together. Soaked pellets to weigh them down when they are inserted into the whiffle ball. A few dried shrimp stuck in the holes of the whiffle ball used as a lure to attract Stan. Twist the ball shut. Hung by poly rope and dropped into the tank. The intention will be for him to have to hit the acrylic ball to make the pellets fall out of the whiffle ball. He'll have to hit it more to get the shrimp and pellets to then fall through the holes of the acrylic ball.

Stay tuned. Recordings of his interaction are coming!

We love seeing birds light up with new enrichment! Thank you to Parrot Hope Rescue for letting us be part of the journey.

Providing enrichment and behavioral support helps set birds up for successful transitions and brighter futures.

And the cherry on top? We found out that DC, a Sam, I Can foundation alum that came to us for training from Parrot Hope Rescue, has been adopted. 💚

We couldn’t be happier for DC!🥳
