Clive the Sealion at Flamingo Land Resort

Clive was the oldest and most well known Sealion at Flamingo Land Resort in North Yorkshire.

 

Clive the Sealion

Having starred in the sealion show for many years he then spent the remainder of his life enjoying his retirement, taking more of a backseat. He occasionally appeared in the live shows which were broadcast during the lockdowns in 2020/2021 which you can watch on our Facebook Page. Sadly Clive peacefully passed away in September 2021.

Bringing Joy into Peoples Lives

Here at Attractions Near Me, our number one objective is to help people have fun. Sadly when the coronavirus struck everything was affected including Theme Parks and Attractions, a place where families would normally go to escape everyday life. When the lockdown began it quickly became apparent that it was more important than ever that we looked for ways to help bring joy and the opportunity to socially connect back into peoples lives.

 

Zoos Appeal for Help

Not only were people affected by this horrible pandemic but businesses were too, some more so than others. It was clear that one of the most badly affected businesses were Zoo’s which not only had to worry about the welfare of their staff, but also the welfare of their animals. As the lockdown period increased major appeals were launched by some of the UK’s largest and most established Zoos including Chester Zoo who had launched a nationwide campaign to ‘Save our zoo’, after admitting it was desperately worried about its future. With this in mind, we decided that as well as putting a smile on peoples faces we also wanted to help support a Zoo or Animal Attraction.

 

The Bird and Sea Lion Show

With our interest in Theme Parks and Attractions, we came across a Facebook page for ‘The Bird and Sea Lion Show‘ at Flamingo Land Resort. It is not common knowledge that they are a small company that operates the bird and sea lion shows within Flamingo Land Resort. Sadly, they were starting to find the costs with no income coming in almost impossible to cover. Flamingo Land Resort is our local park and we have been watching both the Bird and Sea Lion shows since we were children and like many other families, we now take our own children to watch the shows.

We helped support the ‘The Bird and Sea Lion Show‘ and in return, they presented a live Sea Lion Show bringing joy and entertainment to families and their children across the UK.

 

A long term Partnership

Following on from our initial Live Show we have maintained our partnership with ‘The Bird and Sea Lion Show‘ and the animals who are involved in the shows make regular appearances on our Facebook Page. Following the success of our first-ever live event, we are planning on there being further live shows with further emphasis placed on education and conservation.

Like our Facebook Page to stay informed. We will continue to support the The Bird and Sea Lion Show Facebook Page and hopefully partner with them for many years to come. They are a fantastic organisation and do amazing work with the animals. If you would like to know more about this great cause be sure to visit their The Bird and Sea Lion Show Facebook Page.
