Flamingo

Bright and colorful, flamingos are among the most sociable of all birds. Their pink color is a result of the food they eat. Flamingos are filter feeders putting their bills into the water to sift out the tiny plants and animals they eat. Flamingos are well adapted for wading, the long legs keep their feathers from getting wet and their webbed feet keep them from sinking into the soft soil or mud. Although seen in a group there really is no leader and they seem to do everything as a group even courtship displays. When it is time to build a nest for the anticipated egg, the flamingos mud and sticks together and build miniature volcano looking nest, just out of reach of the flamingo next door. Flamingo babies are white with downy feathers when they hatch.
