Escaped flamingo from Dutch zoo is doing well in the Schulensbroek, but loses pink color

A flamingo that escaped from a Dutch zoo in August has settled in Schulensbroek, where it is thriving despite losing its bright pink color. The bird, which likely escaped due to improperly trimmed wings, has adapted well to its new environment, finding enough food in the local wetlands. As winter approaches, concerns about its survival have arisen, but local wildlife advocates believe it will manage. The flamingo's diet lacks shrimp, which is responsible for its vibrant color, leading to a shift to a salmon pink hue. The community welcomes the flamingo, as it attracts visitors and raises awareness about local wildlife.
