Description
This colorful flamingo was very actively preening his beautiful feathers. This was after it's eating and having vocal and beak smacking with other flamingos. Even though it is very loud and many birds arguing with each other there never seemed to be any real injuries. This flamingo had finished preening it's feathers. It then settled in for a little rest by tucking his beak into his feathers and pulling one leg under it's body. This is typical stance of flamingos at rest.
These elegant wading birds are mostly found mostly in Africa and in the Americas from the genus phoenicopterus. This tongue twisting word is Greek meaning blood red feathered. Their plumage ranges from deep reds to light pink and sometimes a bit orange.
