Synopsis
|
Hatched at the San Diego Zoo, Floyd the flamingo was destined to have a special life as an animal ambassador, teaching visitors all about flamingos.
But, early in his life, his caretakers noticed something was wrong—Floyd’s legs were crooked. He would need strong, sturdy legs to survive. Without them, he would not be able to wade in the water, bend down to eat, or stand on one leg—all the things a fabulous flamingo needs to do! Through an unprecedented series of operations, veterinarians straightened and corrected his legs. They couldn’t do it without the perseverance of Floyd’s trainers and Floyd himself. This is the true story of Floyd the flamingo who needed help from his human caretakers and who—in turn—helped his human friends learn about never giving up. |
