Adorable video shows two tiny flamingo chicks being hand-reared by devoted zoo staff, as they prepare the fluffy birds to move to the wetlands.
Suoer-cute video shows the fluffy flamingo chicks being cared for by specialist staff at Whipsnade Zoo. The American flamingos were imported as eggs from Chester Zoo, then incubated and hatched at a specialist bird nursery, as part of their involvement in the European conservation breeding programme.
The chicks are fed four times a day with a concoction designed to mimic the ‘crop milk’ produced by their flamingo parents. The delectable milkshake consists of a whole boiled egg blended with extra yolks, boiled water, corn oil, vitamins, and minerals, providing the chicks with a protein- and nutrient-rich diet as they grow. From about ten days old, the chicks will be slowly introduced to solid foods, in the form of pellets, as they wean off of their milkshake.
