A flamingo is a wading bird known for its distinctive pink color and long, thin legs. Flamingos live in large flocks that can consist of thousands of individuals. They are filter feeders and use their unique beaks to sift through mud and shallow water to extract small crustaceans, algae, and other organisms. Flamingos have a unique adaptation that allows them to stand on one leg for long periods of time, which helps them conserve body heat and maintain their balance on uneven terrain.
