<html> <h3>What is pink, pretty, has long legs and can even stand on one leg for long times? Yes, a beautiful flamingo. There are 6 different species of flamingos found in different parts of the world.</h3> <blockquote> The word "flamingo" comes from the Spanish word "flamenco" which came from the earlier Latin word "flamma" meaning flame or fire. </blockquote> <h3>You will find these birds in shallow water of rivers, lagoons and swamps. They are called 'wading birds'.</h3> <blockquote>Waders are birds commonly found along shorelines and mudflats that wade in order to forage for food in the mud or sand </blockquote> <p>You can read more about other birds that are also waders <a href="https://www.thespruce.com/what-is-a-wading-bird-387103">here.</a></p> <ul> <li><em><strong>Find pictures of the different types of flamingos and their names and one fact on each.</strong></em></li> </ul> <p>The 'greater flamingo' is the biggest and can be up to 1.5 m tall and weigh about 3.5 kg. Flamingos can become 20 -30 years old and even up to 50 in captivity.</p> <p>They have very long and thin legs long legs and it bend backwards. There where the leg bends, it not the knee, but the ankle. The knee is higher up on the leg and is not easy to see. The flamingo stands on one leg for long time. People are not sure why they do this, but they think it is to keep their body heat from getting lost through both the legs.</p> <p>The flamingo feeds in a special way. It holds it head down and beak upside down in the water. It is a 'filter feeder'. It pushes the mud out of the sides of its beak and filters the water through special 'brushes' in it beak called the lamellae that sieve the food from the water.</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu3wb58WfhA</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu3wb58WfhA">source</a></p> <p>The saying 'You are what you eat' is very true for these bird, since their pink color comes from their diet (the food they eat).</p> <blockquote>The pink to reddish color of a flamingo's feathers comes from carotenoids (the pigment that also makes carrots orange) in their diet of plankton, brine shrimp and blue-green algae. </blockquote> <p>Flamingos live together. Their colonies can be made up of thousands of them. This help to protect them against predators, find more food and when they find their mates and make a nest.</p> <p>During the mating season they split up into groups which do beautiful 'dances' of stretching their necks and waving their wings. They do this together so it looks like a beautiful concert they are giving. Watch the dance in the video below.</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW8GX2n4qbY</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW8GX2n4qbY">source</a></p> <p>The flamingo is the national bird to the Bahamas. </p> <ul> <li><em><strong>Can you find the Bahamas on a map?</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Choose any 5 other countries and find out what is their national bird.</strong></em></li> <li><em><strong>Watch the video and write your own story.
