DAYS AFTER THE LAWSUIT IS RESOLVED. AND IT’S THE END OF AN ERA AT THE BIRMINGHAM ZOO AS TWO OF ITS LONGTIME RESIDENTS ARE PREPARING TO SAY FAREWELL. IT’S A SAD FAREWELL FOR EVERYBODY OVER AT THE BIRMINGHAM ZOO. WVTM 13, CHIP SCARBOROUGH IS LIVE AT THE ZOO RIGHT NOW WITH MORE ON WHAT’S HAPPENING. HI, CHIP. HOW’S IT GOING OUT THERE? HI, GLADYS AND JARVIS. VERY BITTERSWEET WEEKEND, YOU KNOW, FARLEY AND GEO ARE TWO OF THE ZOO’S BELOVED SEA LIONS, AND THEY’VE LIVED HERE FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS NOW. BUT IN JUST A FEW DAYS, THEY’RE GOING TO BE MOVING TO A NEW HOME IN A DIFFERENT REGION OF THE COUNTRY. TAKE A LOOK. WE WERE ABLE TO GET UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH FARLEY THIS AFTERNOON AFTER ONE OF HIS FINAL PERFORMANCES HERE AT THE ZOO. HE AND GEO, A FEMALE SEA LION, WILL BE MOVING TO THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM IN BOSTON IN THE COMING DAYS. ALL DAY LONG, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STOPPING BY HERE TO SEE THE POPULAR SEA LIONS, EVEN ABLE TO SIGN A BANNER THAT WILL BE DISPLAYED AT THEIR NEW HOME IN BOSTON. THERE’S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF WORK TO PREP FOR SUCH A BIG MOVE. YES, ABSOLUTELY. SO THEY ARE GOING TO BE TRANSPORTED IN A SPECIAL CLIMATE CONTROLLED VEHICLE HEADING ON UP BEFORE THEY GET ON A SPECIAL PLANE WHERE THEY’LL BE THE LAST ONES LOADED IN AND THE FIRST ONES OFF IN BOSTON. SO DEFINITELY THAT FANTASTIC TREATMENT BETTER THAN AIR TRAVEL FOR MANY OF US. YEAH, THE ROYAL TREATMENT FOR SURE. SO SOME OF THE TRAINERS FROM THE THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN TRAVELING DOWN HERE TO BIRMINGHAM. SO THEY CAN GET TO KNOW FARLEY AND GEO A LITTLE BETTER BEFORE THEY MOVE UP THERE. ANYONE WANTING TO COME OUT AND SIGN THAT BANNER, THE ZOO TELLS ME YOU CAN DO THAT BOTH TOMORROW AND MONDAY. LIVE AT THE BIRMINGH
