Close up - Greater Flamingos

Flamingos fight with their beaks. Flamingos will use their beaks to show dominance in the flock and very rarely these fights can get pretty nasty. When it comes to fighting, flamingos are not very different from humans. Some of us are more aggressive and some are more passive. You can tell when a flamingo is fighting with another flamingo because they will bow down, open their wings and point their beaks at each other.
