An abandoned egg that had been rescued was incubated for 32 days before being introduced to an “adoptive” flamingo family, a zookeeper said. Soon the egg was taken under the wings of the feathered couple—Florence and Freddie—and, not long after that, it would hatch to become Whipsnade Conservation Zoo’s newest addition.
The fluffy, grey flamingo chick, now 3 weeks old, has been bonding with the feathered couple that adopted it, and other members of its flamboyance at the zoo in Dunstable, UK.
