We don't see flamingos in The Villages for the same reason that we don't see Elk or Moose here. --- It is not the proper environment for them to flourish.
Other posters have already discussed what they need in terms of food and shelter. It isn't available here.
If the developer wanted to spend the money, we could have a "tourist attraction" area for flamingos, as we once did for Buffalo. but that seems unlikely.
