Cheese

Cheese was the second youngest curlew chick of the year and was reared with her adventurous clutch mates. Cheese enjoyed exploring new areas of her enclosure and foraging in longer grass. As she grew older, she had a calming effect on her fellow curlews and although she herself was always weary of people she remained sensible about how to avoid humans, unlike some of her friends.
