Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. During Mama's visit to the ABQ Zoo, she stopped to admire the Flamingos (anybody surprised? BOL)
This Flamingo was large and in charge when she was there...
Which was good, because it must have been nap time for the other flamingos.
Mama was amazed at their pretty salmon like color...
I thought they were supposed to be pink, like Flo here but I guess it depends on what kind of food they are eating.
At least these gals have pink legs.....it always amazed us how they can sleep with only one foot down.
ground and not in the water? Who knows....
Click on the picture above for fun video of Mr. Large and in Charge Flamingo.
He sure is a funny flamingo!!

ReplyDeleteFantabyoulush!!! I really liked the performance in the little video... I wonder if they take turns at being 'lookout'? Thanks for sharing these with us, Rosy. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Maybe we should all practice sleeping while standing on one foot and see how it goes? Flamingos are funny birds but we like them.

ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful Rosy and love that last photo of you :-D
ReplyDeletepretty in pink Rosie. The flamingoes look almost orange - well peachy then.
ReplyDeleteWOW sweet Rosy, it sure is fun seeing all those flamingos!
ReplyDeleteThe flamingos are beautiful. You are right, their color depends on what they eat, the particular shrimp they like impart the color. If you feed them albino shrimp with no color, the flamingos turn white!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos of those flamingos. LOVE, love, love the ones with the still water reflections-sooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHey Rosy, do you think Mr Large and in Charge is doing a mating ritual? Or is he just a weirdo? XOX Xena
ReplyDeleteThey are silly looking birds. Tigris, Styx and Lanie too
ReplyDeleteI LOVE FLAMINGOS... ours are a little bit more pink, some are lighter and darker and AI says this about the 1 foot.
ReplyDeleteWhile the one-legged stance is their preferred resting position, they use both feet when they need to be active or alert:
