Birmingham, AL, October 17, 2026 —
A man accused of taking a flamingo from a Las Vegas hotel testified during his trial that he had consumed 30 to 40 beers that day and thought taking the bird would be a “funny” prank. The flamingo was injured in the incident.
The man’s testimony, as described in the available account, concerned his alcohol consumption and his stated belief about the act. The account does not identify the hotel or the man, or specify when the incident or trial took place.
The flamingo’s injury is the only reported detail about the bird’s condition. No information was provided about the nature or severity of the injury, whether the bird received treatment, or what happened to it afterward.
The available information does not specify the charges, the prosecution’s account, whether other witnesses testified, or whether the man’s testimony was challenged. It also does not say whether the trial has concluded, what the verdict was, or whether any sentence or other outcome has been determined. The man’s account of his intent is testimony, not an independently established finding.
Further details about the case, including the hotel’s response and the circumstances surrounding the flamingo’s removal and injury, were not provided. The reported testimony offers one part of the trial account but does not establish the full sequence of events or the case’s outcome.
