Thanks all. Glad you like the pictures. Troy, thanks for the factoids. I did in fact know all those things, except the bit about them honking. They didn’t honk when I saw them–snorted like hogs. But I bet they can honk too. I wish they had.

I was surprised to hear that they honk along much like geese. And they are pink because … they eat shrimp and shellfish and are colored by the cochlear extract from the inside out.

They are very bendy birds and rather intriguing indeed. Much maligned since Matt Dillon did that cheesy 80s movie with their name, and the whole lawn ornament thing.

Didja know that the number of lawn flamingos exceeds the number of actual birds on the planet?

I’m a fountain of useless information, unless it becomes pertinent.

Yes, they are strange and strangely beautiful. Thanks for the great photos.

Nice photos. I’ve never been to that Zoo. Or another other zoo in a long time.
