Wish you were here 'Pink Floyd'. The runaway Flamingo, that is...

 Escaped zoo flamingo spotted 17 years after 

it flew away from a Kansas zoo... 

Flamingo No. 492, AKA ‘Pink Floyd,’ escaped the Sedgwick 

County Zoo in 2005, got spotted in Texas.

There’s a zoo flamingo that flew to freedom 17 years ago and that bird is continuing its journey around the U.S. The flamingo, who has been nicknamed "Pink Floyd," was recently spotted earlier in March at Rhodes Point, which is a cape located in the eastern part Calhoun County, Texas.

Social media posts shared by the Texas Parks and Wildlife agency on Friday, March 25, state the flamingo was seen walking on a strip of land in the cape’s Cox Bay, near Port Lavaca.

 

"Looks like Pink Floyd has returned from the 'dark side of moon'," the Texas Parks and Wildlife’s coastal fisheries team wrote in a Facebook post. "Pink Floyd is a local Texas flamingo that escaped a Kansas zoo in 2005 and has been seen on the Texas coast for several years."

A spokesperson for the Texas Parks and Wildlife said biologists and anglers have seen Pink Floyd in the Port Lavaca area each spring since 2018. 

Before the flamingo got its nickname, the bird had been known as No. 492 when it was transferred to the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas, back in 2004, the Associated Press reports.
