About
“Bob is a Caribbean flamingo from the island of Curaçao. His life took a dramatic turn when he flew into a hotel window, leaving him severely concussed. He was cared for by Odette Doest, a local vet who also runs a wildlife rehabilitation centre and conservation charity – the Fundashon Dier en Onderwijs Cariben (FDOC).
Existing disabilities meant Bob couldn’t be released, but instead, he became an ambassador for FDOC, which educates locals about the importance of protecting the island’s wildlife.
Meet Bob is an intimate love story about compassion and empathy. More specifically about how two individuals, that depend on each other, initiate positive change by educating future generations. The story of a flamingo named Bob and his rescuer Odette is a reminder that individual actions, driven by love and empathy, can have an enormous positive impact on the world around us.” – Jasper Doest
