Highly commended, man and nature: Flamingo socks – Jasper Doest (Netherlands). “An American flamingo ( P hoenicopterus ruber) inspects the improvised socks that veterinarian Odette Doest has developed for its severe foot injury. Initially, the bird was brought from Bonaire to Curaçao by plane after spending some weeks at a local rehab facility. When the infection on its feet worsened, the bird sanctuary decided that the flamingo needed additional medical treatment. Dr Doest treated the bird and fashioned a pair of socks specifically fitted to the bird’s feet to speed up the healing process”.
