Elisha Flamingo

A strange but true tale unfolded on the Ottawa River 10 years ago. A pink flamingo showed up in November 1997. Birders were curious! It turned out that this Chilean flamingo had been on the run for a month, after escaping from Connecticut's Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy. Worried with winter coming on, birders from Nepean Wild Bird Centre tried to capture the wily bird. It took nearly 6 weeks, with all Ottawa watching the flamingo's escapades as she became a media star. She was then returned to a grand reception in Connecticut, to her mate Maurice. Her story flew into local folklore with a song, a children's book, a quilt and now a music video.December 10th is International Human Rights Day. Let's add Bird Rights too! Please send a donation or buy a gift from the Nepean Wild Bird Care Centre or the Livingston Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy. Thanks! The birds need our help.Hope you like this video. Please feel free to post comments, I love getting them.dan mayo
