Flamingo comes from latin word, Flamma, which means flame. Flamingo have tiny brains smaller than their eyes.
they live in flocks or colonies and can swim really well, even though they look awkard on land. they also fly and the underside of the wings is black
Flamingo's lay one egg only during nesting season, 30 days incubation time.
both parents care for the baby by regurgitating food until the little beaks become formed and hard

Those are some nice colorful shots..especially the reflections of the group! No wonder that means flame. So you mean they laid that one egg in front of you two the other day?!! Fantastic!
Awesome photos Sandra. Flamingos are such strange, awkard looking creatures but beautiful at the same time.
Gorgeous shots of the flamingos. And now I even know a little bit more about them.
Quite beautiful Sandra, I love their color.
I love the reflections of these birds.I would love to see one in the wild,but here we only get to see them at the zoo.
Super shots. I love the reflections. They have necks like a snake and what a huge beak but a little brain. Thanks for the info.
beautiful! Like the colors and the reflections, very cool.
They are wonderful! Nice capture to :)
those are awesome shots! so beautiful!
Since we know the day that the egg was laid, and we know the incubation period, we'll have to brave the heat and humidity of July to see who has hatched!
Awesome pics! AND I learned something! Thank you!
What a fun post. I really loved the color in the photos. Another fact that I learned about flamingos is that they get their color from eating so much shrimp. Lucky flamingos.
I love these and had a hard time choosing my favorites! They are the first one, and the first one that has the beautiful reflections. They have white eyes. I don't think I've ever seen one swimming on either pictures or T.V., they are always standing. I am going to Google why they stand on one leg and put it on my flamingo post, I have two to do, but none of mine are real or beautiful like these! They are man made.
Thanks for the information and beautiful pictures about flamingos. Your pictures are wonderful.
Just looked at your previous post too, they're both - amazing... ;) I love that next to last photo here, you can hardly see what is what, so many of them all curled up, and with the water reflections too! We have some at our zoo but one doesn't get really close to them.
They look like flamboyant contortionists ...
Hi Sandra, I love seeing the Flamingos... Their color is truly awesome. AND--the pictures showing the reflections are great... Thanks!
Hugs,

Wow these are gorgeous photos! I can see their feathers, reflections. Thanks for the info
They are stunning gorgeous creatures. Just love them.
Now some people don't get what other people like about Flamingo's.
But - I LOVE THEM!
Don't know why exactly - I guess I love the color.
I didn't know their brain was so small though - that is pretty small.
Great pics and info. Thanks.
