Description
These gorgeous birds can always gather a crowd at the zoo. Their beautiful, soft colors and most of the time they are sleeping with head buried in their feathers. I was able to catch this one who still allowed me to capture his face. My granddaughter, who is 2, kept saying, "Night, night Mingo"...if you're a grandparent, that becomes precious!!!
Flamingos are one of the most interesting types of animals in the world. There are six known species of them out there. They are different from many other types of birds because of the length of their legs. They aren’t often seen flying but they certainly can just like other birds. It was long debated though if they should be classified as storks or ducks. Finally, it was decided that they should have their own classification.
The coloring for a Flamingo ranges from various shapes of pink all the way to a crimson red. Some of them are shades of orange too. They also have colors of cream and white mixed in. They are lovely creatures and they seem to be very calm. If you have a local zoo then chances are you have been able to see and to observe these animals up close.
