Meet the man who has been working nonstop to help rescue hundreds of the Flamingo chicks known as 'Lesser Flamingos.' Thousands of baby flamingos are being born all across South Africa and in danger of dying of thirst due to the drought and dam near Kimberley drying out. Mike Bolhuis, bird lover and private investigator, heard about this issue and decided to set up. He helped organize 900 of the birds to be airlifted 325 miles away from the dam to Pretoria, where he is currently housing them on his farm. He is now in need of some volunteers to come to help out with these adorable baby flamingos. Read the full story at NPR.

The Sacramento Zoo recently announced the birth of six (adorable) American flamingo chicks, also known as Caribbean flamingos. The babies hatched between June 28 and July 30, yes it took two days, and they're the first of the species to be born at the zoo since 1999. So ya, its kind of a huge deal at the moment.

Talk about awkward, this baby flamingo isn't pink, doesn't even have feathers yet, and just looks very confused. Growing up is tough.
