Let the flamingos cook!

Also, by the looks of it, it's making them less pink, too. Mmm, creamy stick chicken.

Risotto with flamingo meat sounds like a solution.

Edit: See responses for why this probably wouldn't work. Nonetheless, if I was a grower I might look into it anyway just to see what happens. How much could a dry corner of a field affect margins anyway...

Fun fact: Rice can be grown in the dry. The reason it's grown in the wet is that, unlike other grasses, it tolerates being grown in the wet, and so the water protects the rice from unspecified environmental factors.

My point here being the question as to whether the factors that destroy rice in the dry are worse than these flamingos. And if not, there's a solution presenting itself here.

Could they do the thing that airports do with geese, where they get a Labrador to run around and bark at the birds and the birds say, "Ehh... fuck this area" and leave of their own accord?

You know, in addition to making risotto, another thing the Italians are pretty good at is making shotguns. So this problem should be solvable.

Can you poison the flamingos or get big cats to patrol the area?

The rice is collateral damage.

:(

I wonder if risotto pairs well with flamingo fillets.
