1. flamingo

   A flamingo is a type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae, known for their distinctive pink coloration, long, thin legs and necks, and large, curved beaks. They live in parts of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe, inhabiting areas like lagoons, lakes, and mudflats. These birds are filter feeders, primarily eating small organisms like shrimp and algae which give them their pink color due to high carotenoid content. Flamingos are also known for their interesting communal behavior, including mass synchronized nest building and mating displays.
