As far as I know the Caribbean flamingos are out of the collection.
Nowadays, they hold Chileans and lessers both in a separate flock (I am happy ... no hybrids).

Per my visit of April 7th 2014, the Caribbean flamingos are still in the collection, and mixed with the Chilean flamingos.
Allright, but as far as I know the Caribbeans are on the go list (to avoid admixing).

...which is interesting! This is a funny little zoo, very close to Chemnitz (I came across it by accident when I got lost on the outskirts of Chemnitz), and while it does not have much to commend it right now (or at least didn't last summer), they were in the process of building a really pretty exceptional-looking thing for flamingos and various wading birds. The Liepzig birds must be on their way to populate this....
