Swift, one of our beloved Chilean flamingos, hatched six years ago earlier this month! With a name like his, we knew he`d make the whole Zoo shimmer and every year he reminds us that we’re enchanted to take care of him here at DZCA. ✨🦩💖
Just like the rest of our flock, Swift receives preventative care—including vaccinations to protect against West Nile virus. At $24 per dose, vaccinating the full flock costs $1,650 each year. Our animal care team is always ready for it, ensuring all our flamingos stay safe, thriving, and ready to shake it off whenever life ruffles their feathers.
Give it up for the vets, the animal care team and of course, Swift! This Colorado Gives Day, you can help keep our flamboyance of flamingos healthy and as fabulous as ever. Your gift supports the care of all 2,500+ animals at DZCA and helps cover the cost of providing world-class zoological medicine.
