Last year we went to Florida and went to Homosassa Springs. We saw lots of neat stuff. One of the things we saw were the Flamingos.
In the book Alice in Wonderland flamingos are used as croquet mallets by the Red Queen. Flamingos were used as croquet mallets, because of their upside-down mallet-shape.
There are six species of flamingos. Flamingos are found mostly in the southern hemisphere, but can also be found in Spain, the Caribbean, and coasts from Arabia east to India.
Flamingos make volcano-like nests and usually lay one egg on the top. Babies have gray plumage and a straight bill that will get a curve to it later. Flamingo parents are like pigeons and produce milk for their young and both male and female produce milk for their young.
