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

Until the last half-decade, the majestic lesser flamingo had four African breeding sites: a salt pan each in Botswana and Namibia, a soda lake in Tanzania, and an artificial dam outside South Africa's Kimberley. Now it only has three https://reut.rs/43sv555 | Reuters

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
