Flamingos

Flamingos eat small insects, plankton, tiny fish, algae, crustaceans, and fly larve using their bills. When and how much food they eat is dependent upon what species of flamingo they are and they type of filtration system in their bill.

A wading bird is any of a group of long-legged birds, such as cranes, herons or storks, which wade in shallow water in search of food.

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.

1. In winter, the northernmost colonies of greater flamingos in Asia will migrate south to the warmer coastal areas of Iran and India. Most other colonies will over winter if the weather stays mild. But these birds will move on if the weather turns bad.

Flamingoes live in lakes swamps and seas. Some of the countries they live in are tropical and subtropical parts of South America, especially Chile, Peru, Argentina, and southern Brazil.

lesser flamingos eat giant dinosuars that prey upon there eggs becuase they are so darn tasty yumm yumm now this is why you shouled not trust this web site haha

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.

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.

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.
