Greater (flamingo)
Greater, also known as Flamingo One and Flamingo 1, (died January 30, 2014) was the world's oldest greater flamingo (''Phoenicopterus roseus''), residing at the Adelaide Zoo in Adelaide, Australia. It was at least 83 years old, having arrived at the zoo from either Cairo or Hamburg (records are unclear)〔(Flamingos at Adelaide Zoo ), by Vaughan Wilson; at Conservation Ark / Zoos South Australia; published 28 October 2008; retrieved 1 February 2014〕 in either 1933, 1930, 1925, or 1919 (the dates of the last four importations of greater flamingos to the Adelaide Zoo)〔(Adelaide Zoo -- Our Animals -- Animals -- Greater Flamingo ), at the Adelaide Zoo; published no later than September 16, 2009 (date of earliest version on archive.org); retrieved February 1, 2014〕 at which point it was already a full-grown adult.〔(Message From a 50-Year-Old Flamingo ), by Steve Boyes; at ''National Geographic''; published October 26, 2013; retrieved February 1, 2014〕 Greater's sex was never determined.〔(World's oldest flamingo dies aged 83 at Adelaide Zoo ), at ''the Guardian''; by the Australian Associated Press; published 31 January 2014; retrieved 1 February 2014〕
On October 29, 2008,〔(Teens attack blind flamingo at Adelaide zoo ), by the Australian Associated Press; from the ''Otago Daily Times''; published October 30, 2008; retrieved February 1, 2014〕 Greater was attacked and beaten by four teenagers. The almost blind bird was badly injured, but soon recovered.〔(World's oldest flamingo, Greater, dies at Adelaide Zoo ), at ''The Australian''; published January 31, 2014; retrieved February 1, 2014〕 Its assailants were arrested, and charged with ill-treatment of an animal.〔(Blind flamingo attacked at Australian zoo ), by Bonnie Malkin; in ''The Daily Telegraph''; published October 30, 2008; retrieved February 1, 2014〕
In April 2013, zoo personnel noticed that Greater was beginning to show signs of arthritis, which they attempted to treat with medication.〔(Adelaide Zoo Celebrates Life of Iconic Flamingo ), by Alison Hassel; at Conservation Ark / Zoos South Australia; published January 30, 2014; retrieved February 1, 2014〕 However, in late January 2014, Greater's health deteriorated even further, and the decision was made to euthanize Greater.〔 At the time of its death, Greater was the only greater flamingo in captivity in Australia;〔 there is a moratorium on the importation of flamingos into Australia.〔
