I had them for my son's second birthday party. First of all - they had one sick monkey - which they explained looked the way he did because he had been kept in a cage his whole life.
I don't know about you - but I actually think that's a very powerful message to send to our kids. Especially if you're concerned about animal welfare.
They do this to educate people about why animals shouldn't be kept as exotic pets - and they take in animals that cannot be reintroduced to the wild.
Personally - everyone had a great time. It was the best birthday party any of us had ever been to - and it was worth every penny...especially since the money is for a not for profit to benefit rescuing more truly exploited animals.

I've seen them perform at parties before, yuck! Poor animals look tired, sickly and soo forced into everything they are doing. Yes your child may laugh at what they do, but is that really what you want to teach them? Animals are to be exploited at all costs to their mental and physical health for our entertainment and bemusement??? No way would I ever tell anyone to give them any money.

They were great at a larger childrens party. Knew their animals well and educated the kids.
