If you get a flamingo, call the number on the letter and a trained technician will come and remove the bird for a donation. You can also help the bird “migrate” to your neighbors. Please be kind to the flamingos if you get one. Call the Flamingo hotline at 318-253-9771 or visit www.avoycoa.com for details.
