The flamingos here are kept in an open environment. They are not afraid of people and are willing to get close to them. The garden design in the park is like a tropical rain forest.

“This historic mansion in Sarasota is quite an extraordinary house, especially considering it was built as a winter residence rather than a royal palace.”
