This is the wetsuit pattern for the front of Pierre’s neoprene vest.  It was made out of 3mm neoprene material to allow for flexibility and normal movement.  He no longer needs the suit as his feathers have all grown in completely.  The full patterns are published in 2009 Issue, Volume 40 of Drum and Croaker.  Drum and Croaker is a journal for professional aquarium staff and can be viewed online.-Pamela Schaller http://www.columbuszoo.org/drumcroaker/pdf/2009.pdf
