Today I bring you publication related to my profile name of this prestigious community, it is a very nice bird called Flamingo that is present in much of the world. Come with me to get to know this Bird that inspired me to wear Flamingirl.

Flamingos are some of the most beautiful and peculiar exotic birds that we will find in different parts of the globe. They are found in the sea, swamps, mountains, lakes, lagoons in any place where you can have food and water you can find a flamingo, there is a species that lives in the Andes and another in Africa which shows that they can adapt easily to any climate condition.

At some point there was a debate whether to consider the Flamencos family of Storks, geese or ducks, after intense debates have finally been classified as Flamingos. Their characteristic pink or bright red colour is due to their diet, food and water. They eat small insects, crustaceans and algae that seem to have the food sources they need.

Social Flamingos

One of the things that has impacted me about flamingos is their ability to live in colonies, most birds are commonly solitary or live in pairs, there are few species of birds that live in colonies, and that is that flamingos are unique, coming to live in colonies of 50 to 20.The largest colony recorded by scientists is in East Africa where the amazing sum of 1,000,000 flamingos live, as you have read, they are very social and have a large number of group activities, the science has determined that they cannot live alone. They are found on all continents except Oceania.
