nationalgeographic.com tells some information on the flamingos weight and some info. on other things as well.
what I've seen on there is that they weigh about 8.75 lbs (not counting the little chicks).
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.
No, flamingos that live near high mountain lakes and in northern climates, migrate to warmer places when it gets cold.
Biotic: The algae they eat.
Abiotic: The water they depend on.
flamingos eat algae, small insects and small crustaceans shrimp shrimp, that's what gives them their color.
the flamingo beak seperates silt and mud from their food. it is particularely long and helps them becuase they live in muddy swamp like places.
Well, first of all the both:
Can't fly.
They have beaks of course.

Differences:
Penguins live usually in the cold (Antarctica mostly)
Flamingo are usually considered to be pink
Penguins Waddle
Flamingo have very LONG legs.
Peguins legs are short.
on facebook...get it? hes likes "a bunch of banana's" on facebook :P yea im pro
Back in 1998, a flamingo broke the peace treaty between the flamingo kind and the butterfly kind by eating a monarch butterfly. The flamingo claims it was an accident, but the butterflies did not take this for an answer and now there is an ongoing war between the flamingoes and the butterflies.
Yes, they have webbed feet and spend a lot of time wading and standing in water.
Yes they do. Flamingos are filter feeders and have a large rough surfaced tongue in order to help filter the brine shrimp or algae out of mud and water.
no because of the food they eat (pink shrimp) gives them that hot pinkish color
Flamingos are birds not mammals. Only mammals possess mammary glands. Only mammals produce milk. Flamingos do not produce milk.
Edit: This answer is not entirely correct. While flamingos are not mammals and not not produce milk from mammary glands, they do produce a "milk" from the cells lining their crop, which can be seen in several bird species, including pigeons. This milk is regurgitated and fed to the young, whose beaks are not formed enough to filter feed as the adults do.
According to sea world this milk is reddish in color and contains the same pigments which the adults use to color their feathers. I assume that if the adults do not get adequate nutrition and lack these pigments, the milk will be a creamy cottage cheese color like a pigeons.
Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp. Their oddly-shaped beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. The filtering of food items is assisted by hairy structures called lamellae which line the mandibles, and the large rough-surfaced tongue. The flamingo's characteristic pink colouring is caused by the Beta carotene in their diet. The source of this varies by species, but shrimp and blue-green algae are common sources; zoo-fed flamingos may be given food with the additive canthaxanthin, which is often also given to farmed salmon. Flamingos produce a "milk" like pigeon milk due to the action of a hormone called prolactin (see Columbidae). It contains more fat and less protein than the latter does, and it is produced in glands lining the whole of the upper digestive tract, not just the crop. Both parents nurse their chick, and young flamingos feed on this milk, which also contains red and white blood cells, for about two months until their bills are developed enough to filter feed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamingo#Diet
A grey bird that looks like a flamingo is an emu or ostrich. An Emu is female and an Ostrich is male. They are the fastest bird ever and are Australian animals. The emu appears on tehAustralian 50 cent coin with a kangaroo. Even though emus and Ostriches are the fastest birds, they can't fly. They are really big birds with such small wings. If you wanted to see a picture story book on emu's, there is one called Edwina the emu. I hope I have answered your question propely By Amy Clarke
