🦩 We are tickled pink celebrating and raising awareness on this International Flamingo Day!

International Flamingo Day is a vibrant celebration of one of nature's most iconic birds. Here at Roger Williams Park Zoo, we're home to Chilean flamingos native to South America.

DYK your phone battery holds a piece of a flamingo's habitat? The lithium inside comes from wetlands where flamingos live and thrive. When those wetlands disappear, so do the birds. To counteract these effects, try to keep your phone longer, avoid frequent upgrades, and recycle it when you are done! Every bit of lithium reused makes a difference.

Roger Williams Park Zoo is a proud partner with the SAFE Andean Highland Flamingo program and supports the recovery and conservation of Andean, Chilean, and Puna (James’s) flamingos through research, public engagement, training, community outreach, and education. #SavingSpecies #WeAreAZA #SAFE_AHF

This year's theme for World Veterinary Day is 'Animal Health Takes a Team' 🌍🩺

This couldn't be more fitting for our incredible team of veterinarians, vet techs, and vet students! They say team work makes the dream work and we are very lucky to have a dream team of professionals. They dedicate countless hours of hard, selfless work to provide the highest level of care to our animals while always keeping a smile and cracking a joke.

Did you know- Our team also collaborates with veterinary professionals from other Zoos, animal hospitals, universities, research facilities, and more to exchange their knowledge. It truly takes a team to deliver high quality veterinary services! Happy World Veterinary Day and thank you to all veterinary professionals making a difference every day! 💙

Blue Chicken is back in action! 🦚 Keep an eye out for our fancy feathered friend free roaming the Zoo and shaking his tail feathers!

Did you know that peacocks can fly short distances despite their large, heavy tails? Flying is often used to escape predators or reach roosting spots in trees. Or, in Blue Chicken's case, flying into the turkey habitat to hang with his friends!
