Flamingo chick being hand-reared

 

Here are some images of the Chilean Flamingo chick that we’re hand-rearing, taken yesterday whilst it was being weighed and tube-fed by members of our Animal Care Team.  The chick was taken in after standing on its own - aside from main flock for some days– wet, cold and forlorn.  The hand-rearing of Flamingo chicks is not easy, but so far, so good!
