Chilean Flamingo

Do you remember what other species Sunken Gardens had during your visit? Or is it just the flamingoes?

@SusScrofa They kept 3 Species of Macaw, 2 Species of Cockatoo, Red-Footed Tortoise, a Keel-Billed Toucan, and Koi fish

It may be possible that they have more, as they were updating another aviary, but I’m not certain

@Elephants and Alligators Thanks for that info!

Thank you for posting these photos! The Chilean Flamingo exhibit looks just like I remember from my last visit there in 1991. The garden itself is beautiful and back then in contained a scattering of animal exhibits. The animal exhibits weren't great, but most of them seemed to be up to the standards of 1990. I saw my first (and almost only) Swamp Wallaby there, and they also had a pair of Southern Ground Hornbills at the time. Did you notice a small aviary with Roseate Spoonbills? They used to have a breeding colony at Sunken Gardens and several of them were incorporated into the colony that Zoo Tampa initiated in 1989 or 1990.
