“…As captive flamingos are often housed in large flocks, in relatively naturalistic exhibits they can be good models for behavioral study (King, ) and assessment of nocturnal activity and space use may provide important information that can be used to make improvements to captive care (Rose, Croft, & Lee, ). Previous captive flamingo research has focused on aspects of diurnal behavior, such as social and aggressive interactions (Anderson, Williams, & Bono, ; Frumkin et al, ; Hinton et al, ; Rose, ; Rose and Croft, ), nesting and courtship display (Farrell, Barry, & Marples, ; Hughes, Raynes, Driscoll, & Babler, ; Studer‐Thiersch, ), and flock management (Lindgren and Pickering, ; ickering, Creighton, & Stevens‐Wood, ; Pickering & Duverge, ). However, currently there is limited information on the nocturnal behavior of flamingos in captivity.…”
