Pretty (Impressive) Flamingo?

There seems to be a plethora potential musicology rifts in this story. 'Pink Floyd' (aka number 492) is an African flamingo, who made a flying escape from Sedgwick county zoo (Wichita, Kansas), in 2005. Seventeen years later, he has been spotted, 700 miles away in Texas (not, in this case, Amarillo), by a fishing guide (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/apr/01/flamingo-kansas-fled-zoo-texas). The flamingo (and a fellow breakout) escaped the zoo, when the keepers failed to clip their wings. The only pink birds generally seen in his coastal area by the fishing guide, are Roseate spoonbills. He was, consequently, somewhat amazed to see (and photograph) an African flamingo in the sea.
