Zookeepers at Paradise Park in Hayle decide not to attempt to bring bird home after 120-mile flight over Channel
Zookeepers in Cornwall have decided to grant an escaped flamingo what she apparently has gone to great lengths to attain: freedom.
Four-month-old Frankie took flight on 2 November, despite having her feathers clipped, from the walled garden of Paradise Park in Hayle.
She amazed her owners when apparent sightings of the audacious phoenicopter were reported more than 100 miles away in Brittany, France.
Now Paradise Park has confirmed Frankie did indeed make the 120-mile flight across the Channel to the coast at Plage de Keremma – and they have decided not to attempt to bring her home.
