A badly injured flamingo, found in Zeerust, in the North West, was brought to the Johannesburg Wildlife Vet by travellers.
The hospital said on its various platforms on Thursday, the young bird was badly injured and sick.
He was also found alone in the middle of nowhere, far from any known flamingo populations, with no clues as to how he sustained such serious injuries or contracted pneumonia.
On arrival, the hospital immediately placed him on IV fluids and started treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication.
The Vets also said bloodwork and radiographs suggest a severe injury, possibly affecting his spine.
Right now, he’s under intensive care around the clock.
His condition is critical.
