A '''Flamingo''' is a [[pink]] [[bird]] that lives in marshlands. It has the ability to fly, and its diet consists mainly of shrimp.
Flamingoes are unique birds in that they seem to, for lack of a better term, dance. As a large group, one can witness the flamingoes bowing their heads, flapping their wings, running back and forth in unison and then taking off into the sky. It is unknown what exactly the purpose of this "dancing" is, though it has been suggested that it is somewhat of a mating ritual.<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/firebird/html/facts.html "Firebird Facts", PBS Nature]</ref>
