So many chicks! 🦩 We are up to 14 lesser flamingo chicks that are being hand-reared here at the Zoo. In addition to feeding and caring for them each day, keepers take the baby birds out on walks behind-the-scenes to encourage proper growth and development and get a little exercise! | Fort Worth Zoo

Flocks of tens to tens of thousands, usually with lesser flamingos, are common. Scattered population in southern, central and northern Namibia as well as Sandwich Harbour, Swakopmund, Skeleton Coast, Cape Cr

WATCH as our adorable lesser flamingo chicks join the flock in their habitat debut! The entire flock waddled out this morning, each getting a little check-up from our zoologists before they set off on their big adventures out on habitat. P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for our littlest chick taking a dip in the pond! 😍 | Dallas Zoo

Our lesser flamingo chicks are out on habitat with the adults - you can’t miss them, they’re the little gray ones! 😉 Their fluffy gray will eventually turn into that characteristic pink plumage by age 3 or 4, thanks to the pigments or carotenoids found in their diet! For now, they’re busy being sleepy, gray flamingos! 🦩🩶 | Fort Worth Zoo
