Baby Flamingos Hatched At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay


baby with adults2

TAMPA, Fla. — Since June 3, seven baby Caribbean flamingos have hatched at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay – the most recent, born on Sunday, July 25. The babies are on display along with approximately 125 adult flamingos in the Bird Gardens area of the park.

As these babies prove, newly hatched chicks are not pink, but in fact have gray or white down feathers. Their pink coloring comes from the carotenoid pigments they consume as part of their diet. They won’t lose all of their darker feathers for a few years.

Flamingos have long resided at Busch Gardens. Their bright color and gentle nature have made them a favorite of park guests for many years.

Project 2011 News

In Project 2011 News, Work continues on the backside of the Rhino Rally area where they are doing lots of demo work. We got some pictures of the coaster footers and some markings on there,one of the markings has 48 written on it which we think stands for 48ft. There is a lot of trench work going on on the savanna and the Sky Ride building area. Construction is also taking place along the new pathway to Edge of Africa where there will be a giraffe exhibit in the near future.The park is very crowded this summer, they were using the overflow parking lots using 5 trams with each full. I also wanted to let everyone know that we have a twitter now which is featured on our sidebar which you should follow to see our latest updates. Thanks to Andy Hrvatin, our new team member at BGTNation for the informations and pics for todays update. Now onto the pics:
