50. Pink Flamingos | A Conversation with Wild Bird Rehabilitator Elly Albers

In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Elly Albers who is all about the beautiful Pink Flamingo! Elly is the founder of the Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab, and owner of the Mangrove Info Center (Kayak and Boat Excursions) on the beautiful island of Bonaire.

When researching this episode, we were so pleased to find that flamingos are native to Bonaire, one of our most favorite places in the world, and then learning of the Wild Bird Rehab where flamingos and other birds were being cared for was a total bonus!

Originally from the Netherlands, Elly moved to Bonaire and worked in the animal shelters.

She ultimately started her business the Mangrove Info Center, where Elly and her team guide Kayak and Snorkel Tours. Then after a sudden need in 2018, she founded Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab.

On a recent holiday to Bonaire, Kate was lucky enough to meet Elly and get a tour of the facility. A highlight of her life for sure! Watch our socials for videos and pictures of the flamingos, and Tiny!- The Rehab's most recent intake and the youngest baby they have rescued yet!

Lots of Love.
