Celebrating the Flamingo!
The Flamingo is probably one of the most easily recognisable birds in the world - these tropical wading birds have long legs, long curvy necks and of course are pink.
They are very social birds and live in colonies that can contain thousands of birds. These large colonies help the flamingos avoid predators and use scarce nesting sites more efficiently.
Flamingos are monogamous birds that lay just a single egg each year and if that egg is lost or damaged they do not lay a replacement. Their chicks are born grey or white and also with a straight bill which becomes curved after a few months.
