Meet my adopted flamingo! Now Preservation in Pink actually has a real flamingo (theoretically anyway. The bird is happily living at the National Zoo, and not in my living room or backyard). The Adopt a Species program supports the care and conservation of animals at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Your adoption packet arrives with a certificate, a large color photograph (see above), and information about the species.
Preservation in Pink 
I love it! This is the first I’ve heard of the program.
you can adopt pretty much any animal you want!
haha.. it was only a matter of time..
For the record, the adopted flamingo was a birthday present. =) But, yes, I probably would have cracked eventually.
