The oldest flamingo on record was Greater, a greater flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus, who was 83 years old when it was put to sleep at Adelaide Zoo, Australia, in January 2014 due to health complications. Greater arrived at the zoo in 1933. The lifespan of flamingoes in the wild is far shorter than Greater's exceptionally lengthy age.
