Their original habitat could no longer sustain them due to decreasing levels of the dam’s water sources. But now, it’s almost back to normal for this special breed.
“The first batch arrived this morning about 8 o’clock. It was 51 flamingos from the national zoological gardens in Pretoria and the second batch, it’s just being offloaded, it’s arrived around 9:30 from uShaka Marine World in Durban,” says Wildlife Veterinarian, Katja Koeppel. The birds will soon be back to what’s been dubbed as one of only four sites in the world where flamingos breed in the country. And they want to ensure a healthy future with thorough inspections going forward.
“So we’re checking them all out we’re putting a yellow band on the right legs so we can identify them from a distance, we measure their wing, we check their weights and we’re putting them in an enclosure,” added Koeppel. They’re expected to be released back to the dam under the care of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals after two weeks.
