I can still remember the excitement my husband and I felt when we found the Flamingo Pond in Kowloon Park, Hong Kong. We had walked past the park everyday however we didn’t realise what it actually was until our second last day when we entered and found a secret treasure. Prior to this experience as Australians we had only seen the odd Flamingo in a zoo. These beautiful creatures in a flock were majestic. We stood watching them for more than twenty minutes leaving because the sun was beginning to set.

I think in the wild they would be pinker than that because they depend on crustaceans in the water for their colour. I’ve seen them in southern France and when they fly they are really striking, especially in a flock. Just like a flying drainpipe. (I hope you have drainpipes in the USA)
Flamingos in the wild being pinker makes sense and yes although I am in Australia we do have drainpipes and it is a great description.
They really are beautiful creatures:)
