I find flamingo very fascinating and I have took its picture during my visit to phoneix zoo.
Flamingo is also called as an wading bird since they are commonly found along coastal habitats shorelines and mudflats. They wade in order to forage for food. They are also called as shore birds. They feed on insects and crustaceans. Do you know? Flamingos usually stand on one leg while the other is tucked beneath their bodies. The reason for this behaviour is not fully understood. One theory is that standing on one leg allows the birds to conserve more body heat, given that they spend a significant amount of time wading in cold water. You can also seen it in the photo. However, the behaviour also takes place in warm water and is also observed in birds that do not typically stand in water. An alternative theory is that standing on one leg reduces the energy expenditure for producing muscular effort to stand and balance on one leg. These birds are not found in Australia and Antarctica. Flamingos whose sole diet is blue-green algae are darker than those that get it second-hand by eating animals that have digested blue-green algae). Greater flamingos consume large amounts of aquatic invertebrates, crustaceans, and algae and likely has a large impact on those populations. Flamingos feed in shallow bodies of water, and often use their large feet to stir organisms from the bottom up into the water column. This is why, flamingo are of great ecological importance.
