One morning Hamish smelt something special in the air. It was very inviting so he decided to find out what it was.
The innovative keepers (rangers) in the Yorkshire Wildlife Park had established a new restaurant – McChicken!
Of course, Hamish had no problems catching the food from this special dinner table.
Yammy, yammy – this is delicious!
After the nice meal Hamish took a walk …
… and he even jumped in the Lake Polar Bear.
Oh dear, the food and the hot water made me so tired.
I blow some bubbles to keep me awake!
Nobby had also felt the scent of something good – hopefully eatable.
Oh bear, there it was – a high ‘table’ with a chicken.
Although Nobby felt for a nap he decided to follow Hamish’ example and went swimming.
After a few laps in the lake Nobby felt like a nap … and started heading towards the ‘bedroom’.
What a great morning it was!
Dear Pat!
Thank you for your photos of Hamish and Nobby, who enjoyed their meal!
I like the chicken with a ‘chopstick’ best. Hamish is an impressively large bear, so the XXL chopstick was no challenge for him. Nobby also masters it with flying colours. They both look great!
The bears seem to be having a wonderful summer.

Den Pflegern fällt immer eine neue Serviervariante ein, aber den schlauen Bären ist nichts zu schwer. Chicken on Stäbchen ist klasse und danach werden die Pfoten gewaschen!
Eine gute Idee für eine gelungene Mahlzeit mit anschließendem Badevergnügen und danachdie wohlverdiente Ruhepause…
Die Rechnung der Tierpfleger ist wohl aufgegangen, Hamish und Nobby hatten wiedermal einen schönen Tag im YWP !!👍🐻❄️🐻❄️👌👏🤗
Dear Pat!
Hamish and Nobby were very glad about the snacks. 🙂
They had a nice day with the bathing and relexing.
