The colour pink is not usually something flamingos would get ruffled about but for a pink sock puppet used to feed some chicks them has left them "terrified", according to keepers at London Zoo.
They are hoping that when the 32-day-old chicks named Little and Large develop their distinctive colour, they will get over their strange aversion.
Alison Brown, 30, a keeper of birds at the zoo, said: "To try to encourage Little to feed by himself we've been wearing a hand puppet which imitates adult flamingos, but unfortunately he was really terrified of the socks."
