Best Adaptable Parents


Sorry ibis! But this bright pink birdie is my favorite. I took the picture of this gorgeous flamingo during our last year trip to the Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach. It was so lonely standing apart from the rest of the group that I thought it just deserved being depicted by my camera. And I did the right the thing. The picture came out very bright, colorful and joyful. In addition to being super gracious and elegant, flamingos are pretty impressive birds. Did you know, for example, that they are so adaptable that can live in hot volcanic lakes and icy lakes in the Andean mountains? Another pretty impressive characteristic is sharing equal responsibility in parenting. Both the male and female pile up mud to build a nest, in which the female lays one egg. Both parent regurgitate food and provide their baby with proper nourishment. Ehhh, I wish humans could have that as well.
