Photo by jasperdoest / A brown pelican and a flamingo bob in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Curaçao. Both were rescued by my cousin Odette, who works as a veterinarian on the island. Unfortunately these two birds couldn't be released back to the wild. The pelican, named Neil, arrived at her rescue facility with a complicated wing fracture (he's since passed away), and the flamingo, whose name is Bob, had slammed against a hotel window and has a chronic foot condition. Bob became the ambassador of fdoccuracao, a local conservation education charity that teaches environmental awareness.
