The Baha Mar goes further to explain the environment where the flamingos and the Chief Flamingo Officer will interact.
“The CFO and flamingos will work together in the resort’s ‘Flamingo Mansion,’ a massive indoor-outdoor habitat built specifically for the species. The program is part of the Baha Mar Ecological, Aquatic Conservation Habitat Sanctuary (BEACH Sanctuary) — a space dedicated to preserving and celebrating the wildlife of the Bahamas.”
