Stone Zoo Flamingos Get New Home At Caribbean Coast

We may not know why the Stone Zoo flamingos crossed the road, but as least we know how.

The flock of 51 feathered friends at the Stone Zoo have moved from their old exhibit to the brand new Caribbean Coast exhibit. The move went smoothly and the birds are settling in to the new space. The Caribbean Coast will open next week, and an opening celebration will take place on June 9.

The $4 million Caribbean Coast exhibit features a walk-through aviary with Caribbean flamingos, scarlet ibis, macaws and Jamaican iguanas, an exhibit featuring bush dogs, and fun, imaginative and interactive experiences designed to further connect guests of all ages to this region of the world. When it opens, the Caribbean Coast will be the only exhibit of its kind in New England where guests will have the opportunity to feed the flamingos.
