ASHEBORO, N.C. — It's time to say goodbye to the flamingos!
The 15 Chilean flamingos currently residing at the North Carolina Zoo are being relocated to the Greenville Zoo in South Carolina
The NC Zoo said they will be joining a flock of 19 Chilean flamingos in their new South Carolina home.
"Flamingos are social birds that live in large flocks in the wild. We are very thankful to the Greenville Zoo for accepting the entire flock, as several of these birds have been together for over 25 years," wrote The Zoo on its Facebook page.
The Zoo said moving the flamingos was a necessary step to demolish the Aviary that closed in 2022.
Want one last look at the pink feathered friends? The Zoo is hosting a special "Farewell Flamingos" event on Saturday, Aug. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Zoo said there will be pink snacks for purchase. Don't forget to wear pink to match!
