Who's up for watching flamingos?

Flamingos are iconic wading birds known for their distinctive pink plumage and long, slender legs. What might surprise some is that flamingos are not naturally pink; their coloration comes from pigments in the food they eat, such as algae and crustaceans. Another lesser-known fact is that flamingos often stand on one leg, a behavior that helps them conserve energy and regulate body temperature. Their uniquely shaped bills are adapted for filter-feeding, allowing them to extract tiny organisms from water sources. Flamingos are highly social birds, often seen in large flocks, and they engage in synchronized group movements during courtship displays.
