What type of feet does a flamingo have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wading birds, such as herons, usually have three toes forward and one behind, all long to support them on soft surfaces. Flamingoes, however, have a very small first rear toe, with three toes forward, webbed for swimming, that are not so long as most wading birds. What we see as the foot is only the toes. What we see as the lower leg bone is really the foot fused into a single bone, with a prominent heel joint that looks to us like a knee that bends backwards. Bird toes are as different as bird species, and fit their lifestyle. Most birds have one toe behind and maybe above, with three forward. Some birds have two forward and two behind, some have a toe that can shift from front to back, a few birds have only three toes forward; the Ostrich has only two toes forward.

Asked by Masman2

Flamingos choose regions that have little food for other animals and avoid having many natural predators. They can be the target of large birds that move from place to place. Grown flamingos are not the target but the chicks are vulnerable and the parents must protect them and kept them close by.

Can you eat flamingos?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes you can eat the flamigo, we eat it on a regular basis here in the UAE, there are a number of excellent outlets here that specialise in the delights of the flamigo. the flamigo meat, especially from just under the wing is very pork like, which has a captive market here. ask your local butcher for a flamigo, it isn't a very popular bird in most of the world but i believe it is readily available these days and can be sourced without too much difficulty. favourite flamigo dishes would be flamigo fajita, flamigo paste, crispy flamigo and smoked flamigo.

How can you tell a male flamingos from a female?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you can't. Some animals look different, and some don't. They look the same. The only way to tell between a female flamingo, and male flamingo is by... I f you happen to see a flamingo sitting on a nest, or sitting on its egg, then that is a female flamingo. Maybe male flamingos have black marks, and others with no black marks might be hopefully be females.
