They're not ?! I'm quite surprised, as we see this species often in zoosGood news. Chilean flamingo are still not self-sustaining in EAZA (unlike Greaters). Every Chilean chick is welcome.
Wild-caught Chilean flamingos were imported in huge numbers from Argentina to Europe till circa year 1985 (when Argentina baned exports). A part of birds you see today are still these imported birds, slowly getting old and large number of them without any surviving offspring. Deaths are more numerous than reared chicks (within EAZA zoos) but situation is improving.They're not ?! I'm quite surprised, as we see this species often in zoos
Curiously the Chilean Flamingos are the most frequent Flamingo species in French zoos (26 zoos according to Zootierliste), followed by the Greater (20 zoos) and Americans / Caribbeans (18 zoos if we count the Zoo de Martinique overseas).Wild-caught Chilean flamingos were imported in huge numbers from Argentina to Europe till circa year 1985 (when Argentina baned exports).

Interesting !Curiously the Chilean Flamingos are the most frequent Flamingo species in French zoos (26 zoos according to Zootierliste), followed by the Greater (20 zoos) and Americans / Caribbeans (18 zoos if we count the Zoo de Martinique overseas).
But the Americans are probably the more numerous, followed by the Chileans and the Greater (even if it's "our" native Flamingo species in the mainland).
I would add that some zoos like La Palmyre breed tens of Chilean Flamingos every year, that is probably a record in France (and Europe ???).
In many zoos Chileans are breeding nicely and plenty of colonies are growing or at least producing more chicks than they have deaths. It’s a bit the same situation that white rhino’s were in for over 2 decades, the population itself wasn’t at risk with a decent core of good breeders but old animals and poorly designed exhibits caused a net decline in the honestly quite large population. No reason to worry thus.Curiously the Chilean Flamingos are the most frequent Flamingo species in French zoos (26 zoos according to Zootierliste), followed by the Greater (20 zoos) and Americans / Caribbeans (18 zoos if we count the Zoo de Martinique overseas).

This is a great story!
