Baby boom flamingos Great Britain in the making

Fortunately, the heat also has positive consequences.

The flamingos, originally from the South American Andes Mountains, were housed in the reserve in Gloucestershire in the sixties.

The caretakers of the animals were initially optimistic, but it quickly became clear that there were no offspring in the nine eggs. That is why eggs of other flamingo species have been laid with the animals, because according to the caretakers the animals are 'in full parenting mode. '

The andes flamingo is on the list of endangered species of the International Union for Nature Conservation (IUCN).
