Flamingo - LR9A1250-2

The flamingo is the national bird of The Bahamas.Flamingos are monogamous by nature, and only lay around one egg per year. It takes flamingos about three years to get their pink and red feathers. The hit song "I Only Have Eyes For You" was released by doo-wop group The Flamingos in 1959. Adult flamingos' feathers range from light pink to bright red due to their food supply. The brighter the feathers, the more well-fed the flamingo is.

They live in colonies of thousands of birds.There was an old greater flamingo that lived to be 83 YEARS OLD at the Adelaide Zoo in Australia. The flamingo sadly passed away in 2014.
