Flamingo chick got lost in the taiga
In the Urals, animal rights activists are trying to save a flamingo lost in the taiga. The bird was most likely blown away during the flight from Kazakhstan towards India and Pakistan, the Ekaterinburg animal rescue center “Special Pet” told the publication “Rise”.
The flamingo is still a chick, “he’s small, plus there are no relatives nearby - he’s scared,” the center’s staff explained to reporters. According to them, the bird was found on a forest road near Yekaterinburg by shift workers driving trucks. “We went out and saw that the bird was unusual. And they noticed that he was bleeding,” the shift workers later said.
The workers took the flamingo with them, named it Kesha, took it to a warm bath and contacted the “Special Pet”.

The condition of the chick at the center is assessed as very poor - the right wing is broken, the left is wounded, and the right leg is injured. He is severely emaciated and has very little ability to stand on his paws, center volunteer Tatyana Golik told reporters. “Most likely, I haven’t been wandering for the first day. Very skinny. He sits down very often, although they are not allowed to sit down, they must constantly stand,” the woman added.
Most likely, “someone tried to eat the chick,” since it has a wound on its right wing—“either someone bit it, or someone pecked it,” the animal rights activist explained.
The chick is about six months old, according to A Special Pet. If the animal manages to escape, most likely it will have to be given to the zoo, since flamingos are flocking birds, animal rights activists said. According to volunteers, now, without its relatives, the chick is experiencing severe stress.

This is the first time that a wild flamingo has been found in the vicinity of Yekaterinburg, Golik told Podem. Last year, a flamingo chick was found in the north of the Sverdlovsk region, but it died - it was torn apart by wild animals, the publication writes.
Flamingos fly to the Urals and Siberia if a flock encounters hurricane winds on the way to or from wintering, Golik said. “They lose their orientation and just fly wherever they look,” the animal rights activist explained.
At the end of October, an ostrich was caught in the Komi forests for several days. The animal escaped from the farm after it did not get along with another male kept there.
