Abstract

-Former captive Lesser, Caribbean and Chilean flamingos have been repeatedly observed at the Greater Flamingo breeding colony in the Camargue (Southern France) where they have been seen in displaying flocks of the local species. The latter two have bred on occasions. Pairing and copulations attempts have been observed between Carribean and Greater as well as between Chilean and Greater flamingos. The potential threats caused by the establishment of exotic flamingos in Europe are discussed.
