He also wears soft blue booties to protect his feet from the hard ground. Flamingos usually walk on softer ground out in the wild.

When he's not out, Squish spends time in the park's weaning room, getting used to the outdoor temperature, and learning how to feed on his own.

Squish will join a 300-strong flock of flamingos at Jurong Bird Park when he turns three months old.

Good luck Squish -- keep on walking!
