Mundo Diary - Aruba Crazy Flamingo Story 

"There are about 8 flamingos on the beach. They just walk around and mind their own business most of the time. They won't come up to you unless you have food, and even then sometimes they'll still ignore you if they're not hungry.

All of the flamingos were so gentle and would eat right out of your hands, except for one. One of the big ones was CRAZY, and no one warned me about him ahead of time! 

Not once did he just eat the food out of my hand but would completely LUNGE for it. I never ended up feeding him because he would scare me, and I dropped all the food!

He would also attack people and things completely unprovoked. He jabbed me in the back and in the arm a few times when I didn't even have food. He even went after my camera.

So I'm warning you now, Flamingo Beach in Aruba is an absolute dream - but there is one lunatic that you need to watch out for! Apparently he's been there 11 years, so he thinks he owns the place."
