As for the "aroma" of the flamingos -- there didn't seem to be any bad smells. I wonder if the grounds keeper has to keep the area clean. This area is not only an open area, but it also serves as a "playground."

The ones at the SF zoo stink to high heaven!<BR/><BR/>Regarding bands, all captive birds should be banded (all of the ones I've seen at zoos are too) so if they escape, they can be identified & returned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728987043673829071.post-79364235667315990122008-02-25T08:03:00.000-08:002008-02-25T08:03:00.000-08:00Mary - funny you should mention that the flamingos...Mary - funny you should mention that the flamingos were possibly plastic blow-ups. When I first looked out my window and looked down into the garden, I thought the same thing until I saw movement from those pinkish "blobs." Interestingly enough, I noticed while walking through the garden, several birds, including the flamingos, were wearing bands.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728987043673829071.post-65146436126374230252008-02-25T06:11:00.000-08:002008-02-25T06:11:00.000-08:00Mary, at first I thought the flamingo's were plast...Mary, at first I thought the flamingo's were plastic blow-ups and I thought, "Gee, how tacky"...I would have loved to mingle with such exotic birds!
