Aisha the orangutan turns one tomorrow! The festivities begin at 9am, and include all kinds of yummy treats for the birthday girl and her family. Volunteers at the Zoo have been preparing for the big day by painting birthday boxes for Aisha and the other four orangutans in the troop. Keepers will fill the decorated boxes, and some gourds, with some of the animals' favorite treats including airpopped popcorn, raisins and peanuts.

The party will start at 9 a.m. when the orangutans are released onto exhibit and will continue until all the treats are gone. Aisha and her mother, Indah, will return to their offexhibit bedroom at 1 p.m. Those not able to attend the event can watch the festivities on the Zoo's Ape Cam at www.sandiegozoo.org/apecam.
