My entry for the WE LOVE ANIMALS - PHOTO CONTEST by @flamingirl

Be a Flamingo in a flock of pigeons

The name Flamingo was derived from flamengo - which means flame colored
These are normally cold loving birds and they conserve more body heat . Does anyone know why they love standing in one leg ??

Their are many hypotheses for their standing in one leg theory. Among one such is related to conserving the body heat. they fold the leg beneath their body to conserve the body heat. Strange and also does not make any sense.

The color of the body is mainly due to the carotene (like in carrots). A health and well fed Flamingo is more vibrantly colored. And thus making a more desirable mate 😍
