Jasper Doest's Image
When Odette asked if she could bring a flamingo to the CBA Television Studios in Curaçao’s capital, Willemstad, the producers thought she meant a plastic one.
Causing a stir when he first arrived, it wasn’t long before Bob had befriended the presenters. For Odette, such positive media attention helps to promote the conservation work of her charity.
