Photo by @jasperdoest //Flamingo Bob swims in the Caribbean Sea. Arthritis in his feet is causing him difficulties to walk but he feels very comfortable in the water.

Bob is a Caribbean flamingo, from the Dutch island of Curaçao. His life took a dramatic turn when he flew into a hotel window, leaving him severely concussed. He was cared for by my cousin, Odette Doest @vetdoest, a local vet who also runs a wildlife rehabilitation centre and conservation charity – the Fundashon Dier en Onderwijs Cariben (FDOC) @fdoccuracao. Existing disabilities meant Bob couldn’t be released, but instead he became ambassador for FDOC, which educates locals about the importance of protecting the island’s wildlife.

The story about Bob was recently published by National Geographic @ナショナルジオグラフィック who are currently celebrating ‘the year of the bird’. Follow me @jasperdoest, @vetdoest and @fdoccuracao for more images of Bob as I’m revisiting him on the island of #curacao this week.
