The Green Chimneys animal calendar features 12 months of our animals and their real-life stories. Stay up-to-date with furry and feathered friends while supporting our programs for children and care of our animals.
Featuring the work of the award-winning photographer Jason Houston, our annual calendar provides an artful look at some of our beloved animals and stories of how they arrived — and have thrived — at Green Chimneys.
Llamas, like Alexa and Summer Wind, are very social animals and live with other llamas as a herd. They are intelligent, inquisitive, and can learn simple tasks after just a few repetitions. The wool produced by a llama is very soft, versatile, and lanolin-free and, each Spring, Green Chimneys students help sheer our llamas and the wool is made into yarn which is for sale at our country store! Llamas eat grass, hay, corn silage, alfalfa, and grass roots, and adults can drink 3 gallons of water a day.
