That's outrageous! I don't know about flamingos, but duck lives matter.
At least all 25 of the flamingos are reported to be fully vaxxed.
Nature is red, in tooth, in claw.
Craig Ferguson applauds…
Demonstrating again the importance of a good barrier to protect the rightful inhabitants.
At least it wasn’t 25 wild flamingos kill a fox and duck.
Keep the doors CLOSED!
Now they are fully vulped.
I think they sell Flamingos at Lowes.
That fox was like a fat kid in a candy store.
I have built some Zoo exhibits. The ability of animals to defeat barriers is really hard to design around. Head Keeper in the Lion exhibit was very very much involved in barrier installation.
Flamingos have their wings clipped so they won’t fly off. They were sitting ducks so to speak.

Though the trope of "Nature, red in tooth and claw" was hardly new, Tennyson gave it more impact than others!
Still it is a fact that is apparently lost on many nature lovers, that not all predators are 'mere' subsistent hunters, that there is, as shown here, an attack frenzy. If the fox was sentient, what justification would be offered for this excess? Likely, it would be with so much confined prey, why stop?
NB: Anyone care to extrapolate to behavior of human predators? Singly and those that lead nations?
Have to wonder at how long it took to make the hole?
It’s the south...Had to kill at least one quacker.
That’s a lot of killing for apparently one night.
The fox on the Hill turned out to be rabid; I wonder if this one is.
What does the fox say?
Duck, duck, flamingo 🦩
Impossible, animals don’t kill for sport. Must be one of those conservstive NRA affiliated foxes.
