Flamingo stress problem

[Karen F]

Hi all, my flamingos are constantly stressed and i can't seem to fix it. I already placed 'no disturb' signs which usually fixes the problem. Not in this case. They have enough plants and shelter. For the moment i am trying the ambient sound speakers. I read they help with reducing stress. Can someone confirm this and give tips on how to place them. Also what sound should i choose for my flamingos?

Hi! I always have issues with my flamingoes and I end up putting a horrible glass barrier.

Ambiance speakers don't affect stress levels. It's something that some YouTubers keep saying, but it's been confirmed by Frontier that they don't reduce stress:

Hayo, Ambience Speakers do not affect animal stress at all. They're purely decorative and immersion building, they don't have any gameplay effects. Hope this helps

What helped a lot in one of my Zoos, was to put Billboards that advertise other Enclosures on the Path towards the Flamingo Enclosure.
It would be very useful to see some Pictures of the Enclosure

The only thing that truly works for me are barriers with inserted one-way glass, and no raised viewing platforms where guests can freely look down on shy or easily stressed species.

Changing the difficulty to easy helps too in my experience

The one way glass helped a lot, but i do have a raised viewing platform which is still causing problems. I will try placing popular animals the other side. Hopefully most visitors will take the other path

If they have a hard shelter area, one thing I do is to "hide" a one-way glass barrier inside the building pieces (since sometimes guests can see through building piece walls, but not barriers). This part of the barrier doesn't have to be connected to the rest of your barrier system.

I also try to have at least one section of their habitat which isn't viewable by any guests, to give them a place to run to.

Of course, sometimes they'll still stand or sleep right in the most viewable spot, no matter what we do. (which probably happens in real life too).

Many thanks for the tips!

unfortunatly, despite being a walkthrough animal, flamingos shouldn't be on popular paths/main areas. I built a great circular habitat for them back in the day that was right at the entrance ... I thought they were going to have collective heart attacks.
