The new flamingo encolusre

Opening day for the new part of the african section at the new main-entrance. Here are living 30 greater flamingos. A net prevents them from flying away or letting predators in.

      Are these birds not wing clipped at all?

      @elefante A late answer, but most of those probably are still pinioned. However in Europe the tendency is to house flamingoes in aviaries without wing clipping or pinioning yes. The days of open-topped flamingo enclosures are passing away, hopefully followed by pelicans soon.
