Bird Escapees Cause Excitement 
By Paul Schulze 
A Flamingo escaped from Lincoln Park Zoo on Memorial Day. It was a 
new bird that had been placed in with older birds that were pinioned. 
Keepers forgot that this bird had not been pinioned and he flew off. I 
understand that he was seen in Wisconsin and as far south as the University 
of Chicago. Recently he has been feeding in the Chicago Sanitary District 
settling ponds between First and 25th Avenue, next to the Stevenson 
Expressway. The earliest report for this area is July 26th and he is still 
there as of August 12th. 
The Brookfield Zoo also has an escapee which has been slowly working 
his way westward; it was last seen at Westmont. This bird is a Touraco; 
he has probably been out for a week. (August 12th).

South Haven, Mich. (AP) Michigan’s Flamingo mystery broadened 
today when one of the tropical birds was sighted wading along the shore 
line of this Lake Michigan city. Three weeks ago, a Flamingo was spotted 
wading in Lake Huron, 15 miles from Rogers City, Mich. 
As the Flamingo flies, it is 258 miles from Rogers City to South Haven, 
and twice as far by the water route. Conservation officers believe the bird 
or birds may have escaped from a zoo, but no zoo has reported a missing 
Flamingo. The birds are native to Florida. Reportedly, the farthest north 
a wild Flamingo has traveled was to Palm Beach, Fla., in 1908.
