Savanna - Flamingo aviary

GaiaZOO's flamingo aviary holds the biggest captive flamingo colony in Europe, having roughly 460 animals.

Full species list:
Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)
Demoiselle crane (Anthropoides virgo)
Abdim’s stork (Ciconia abdimii)
Hamerkop (Scopus umbretta)
Western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis ibis)
African sacred ibis (Threskiornis aethiopicus)
Hadada ibis (Bostrychia hagedash)
Southern bald ibis (Geronticus calvus)

African comb duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos)
Fulvous whistling duck (Dendrocygna bicolor)
Northern shoveler (Spatula clypeata)
Tufted duck (Aythya fuligula)
 
When I first saw pictures of this aviary I thought it looked pretty ugly, but now that the vegetation has grown it's looking pretty good, I was afraid that the sheer number of flamingoes wouldn't allow the growth of vegetation.
