When an injured bird has been nurtured back to health at Green Chimneys, we pause before it’s released to wish it well.

It’s a tradition that repeats itself, time and again, as we bid adieu to healed wildlife, as well as Green Chimneys students and residents who are ready for the next step in their journeys. The bittersweet preparedness of life beyond Green Chimneys. Typically we gather as a community to wish the child well. We recently came together for a symbolic bird release to celebrate one child’s big moment.

Bo Peep

Bo Peep arrived at just 3 months old from a local lamb and mutton farm that felt her slower growth would prevent her from keeping up with the rest of the flock. She was also in need of veterinary care for infections in both eyes and an upper respiratory infection. Bo received the care and love she needed and is now strong and healthy but remains a bit smaller than her peers. She loves following around her human friends and while she is housed with two goat kids she still prefers people, knocking staff with her front hoof if their attention veers even a minute.
