Flamingos

I thought about enhancing the color of these flamingos, but decided against it.  I think I read somewhere that it's what they eat that makes their color more pink.
 I guess in captivity they don't get alot of whatever that is. 

.

These all seemed pretty light in color.

do you know why flamingo stand on just one leg? Because if they picked up the other one, they would fall down. I know its corney, but that is the very first joke my daughter told me as a very little girl. ha. and she got me!! i laughed hard. THATS when i knew i didnt need DNA testing on her!! ha. another jokster in the family.
