Mary Skinner, marketing director for Conchy Joe’s Restaurants in Stuart and Jensen Beach, said the desire to help was instant and organic.

Conchy, a flamingo found at the Key West Naval Air Station in 2015 and taken to Zoo Miami, was initially not released due to its non-native status.

Conchy was tagged and released and didn't leave Florida Bay for two years, Lorenz says, showing that the region "can sustain flamingos year-round."

Normally managers on the grounds lethally remove feathered troublemakers — it can be very dangerous with birds flying around million-dollar fighter jets — but Conchy was a charmer.

But it’s very rare to spot one like Conchy in the wild.
