Peaches the flamingo is thriving in Mexico.
The pink, long legged bird was rescued off the Tampa/St Petersburg area in September of 2023 and rehabbed at the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores.
Thanks to the band placed on him by researchers, Mexican officials have spotted Peaches in a nesting colony in the Yucatan.
Zoo Miami collaborated in the research effort to follow Peaches and Conchy.
They're the only wild flamingos banded in the United States.
