FLAMINGO ESCAPES QUEBEC ZOO, STOPS BY TIM HORTONS PARKING LOT

Nov 22, 2021 | 10:00 AM

A zoo in Quebec, Canada, said a pink flamingo escaped and was found a short time later hanging out in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons.  The Granby Zoo said the flamingo flew the coop Wednesday morning and was seen by customers in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons doughnut shop in Granby.  “To reassure everyone, there wasn’t a sale on shrimp at the IGA or a special on coffee at Tim Hortons,” Karl Fournier, director of animal care at the Granby Zoo, said in a TikTok video.  “For reasons unknown, the flamingo escaped and flew away from its group. Our team quickly mobilized and it was captured in a calm manner.”  The flamingo allowed zookeepers to approach, and they returned it safely to its enclosure.
