Flamingos

Birds, on the whole, have been determined through scientific studies to be more intelligent than previously thought. However, there is no data available on the specific level of intelligence of flamingos.

Flamant

All varieties of flamingos have one head.

No one is really sure why flamingos stand on one leg. Scientist aren't even sure why flamingos stand on one leg. But one thing that has been proposed is that flamingos stand on one leg to relieve the pressure off the one side and res that side while the other side functions and controls the body. Then when that side has rested then they will alternate legs and do the same thing until they are fully rested and ready to go on about their business.

Accord to the San Diego Zoo they DO FLY ! --

"In order to fly, flamingos need to run a few paces to gather speed. This speed is not related to the ground but rather to the air, so they usually take off facing into the wind. In flight, flamingos are quite distinctive, with their long necks stretched out in front and the equally long legs trailing behind. Their outstretched wings showcase the pretty black and red (or pink) coloration that, with slight variations, is shared by all flamingo species. When flying, flamingos flap their wings fairly rapidly and almost continuously. And, as with most other flamingo activities, they usually fly together in large flocks. The flamingos follow each other closely, using a variety of formations that help them take advantage of the wind patterns. "
