Flamingo

Pliny would like to state that his last blog was written on Saturday afternoon, not Friday just before midnight.

And now he turns to the subject of today, ( Sunday) which is the Flamingo.

All Adelaideans have been outraged recently at the cruel bashing by teenage boys of an 80 year old Flamingo at the Adelaide Zoo. Fortunately one does not become an 80 year old Flamingo without being very tough indeed, and our one-eyed Flamingo is now back in its pen with its long time Flamingo friend, and all is well at the Zoo.

Pliny the Elder is hooting at this story. What were they doing keeping a Flamingo that long? he asks. Don't they know that Flamingo makes a very nice stew when cooked with dates and coriander?
