In a collaborative effort with the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the Sacramento Zoo recently held its annual Flamingo Roundup, focusing on the health and well-being of these vibrant birds. Third and fourth-year veterinary students took part in this important event, gaining hands-on experience under the expert guidance of seasoned veterinarians.
During the roundup, each flamingo underwent a thorough examination to assess their overall health and ensure they are thriving in their environment. The students meticulously checked vital signs, examined feathers, and monitored the birds for any signs of illness or distress. This initiative not only supports the health of the flamingo population at the zoo but also provides invaluable training for the future veterinarians.
The Flamingo Roundup is a testament to the zoo's commitment to animal care and education, highlighting the importance of veterinary science in wildlife conservation. The event fosters a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by these iconic birds and promotes ongoing efforts to ensure their health and safety.
