Shuttle at Zurich Zoo

Urs Jaudas

Moving is stressful. Even for flamingos. But sometimes it can't be avoided. At Zurich Zoo, 58 flamingos had to move from their home in the Pantanal to the bird meadow. While that's only a 120-meter flight distance, the flamingos can't fly because their wings are clipped. A moving truck? That wouldn't work. So, they opted for a private shuttle service.
