An escaped flamingo who flew away from a Kansas zoo 17 years ago was spotted making its way through Texas in March.
Pink Floyd, the flamingo, was seen around Rhodes Point on March 25, and the bird's return was shared on social media."Looks like Pink Floyd has returned from the 'dark side of moon,'" the Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Coastal Fisheries team posted to Facebook."Pink Floyd is a local Texas flamingo that escaped a Kansas zoo in 2005 and has been seen on the Texas coast for several years.
"The Gulf Coast is an excellent climate for flamingos, so Texas is a perfectly fine location for Flamingo 492 [Pink Floyd's official label]," a spokesperson for the Sedgwick County Zoo said."In order to keep flamingos safely housed at the zoo that they call home, it is standard practice to clip an area of feathers on each wing that keeps the flamingos from flying.
