Flamingo


-Flamingos in southern Arizona?  Well ... yes, at the Reid Park Zoo!  A very popular attraction!
-Flamingos are wading birds with pink plumage, long legs, and a downward-bent bill
-They are about 3 to 5 feet tall, with a wingspan of 60 inches, and weigh 8.75 pounds

-Flamingos have slender bodies, small heads, and large wings with black flight feathers along the edges ... their feet are relatively small, with the front three toes webbed, and the back toe being either tiny or missing altogether ... flamingos have long, flexible necks, and their color varies depending on what they eat
