Description A Greater Flamingo, taken at Adelaide Zoo, 21 Jan 2011

For those who live in Adelaide and heard about it, this is the Flamingo which a group of teenagers bashed to within an inch of its life.
What drives people to want to bash a pink fluffy bird? Can it REALLY make them feel that manly?

I dont know whats wrong with some people.

Anyhow, i really love Flamingos First of my zoo shots, more to come!

Poor thing! people can be so cruel.

I love this shot. She/he looks rather shy. It's interesting how the feathers are sitting also.

Why would they do such a thing to a poor bird He's one of the oldest birds in the world and they wanted to beat him?

Anyway, beautiful shot<3 You can see the emotion in it and the lighting is awesome
He looks soo fluffy I just wanna give him a big hug

I know, i really dont understand people sometime. Those kids should have taken on a more worthy opponent, maybe the pair of tigers. But of course, then the tigers might not eat their breakfast in the morning

Thankyou!
And he's a real sweetheart, he comes up to the edge of the enclosure to look at the kids (though he's blind in one eye)
And he's insanely fluffy looking, i can imagine how soft he would be
He's doing well for 65-ish years old

I think they felt threatened by all the pink feathers. Which is ridiculous.
