Framed Flamingo Artwork
Flamingos are wild birds that live all over the world and they are recognizable by their stand on one leg. Instead of being flying birds, flamingos aren’t very good flyers, but they are good swimmers in deep water. More often, they can be seen wading through ponds. Flamingos are born grey or white, but after three years of their lives, they become pink, red or orange. This is caused by the food they are eating which contains different pigments, but also, their color can be inherited.
Flamingo bird has very long legs that can sometimes be longer than flamingo’s whole body. Besides, they also have long necks and because of this, a flamingo is considered to be one of the tallest birds in the world. The most commonly known, and at the same time the tallest one, is the Greater flamingo. These birds usually live from 20 to 30 years.
Flamingos are usually found in the nearby vicinity of the ponds or lakes, where they are looking for their food which is mostly plants or tiny animals. When it comes to reproduction, flamingo makes a nest where only one egg will spend 30 days. After hatching, young flamingo spends few weeks under supervision of its parents, then joins the other young flamingos. Later, they become a part of a group which includes 15 to 50 birds.
In the past, it was believed that flamingo is a living image of the Egypt’s god Ra. In the Bahamas, flamingo is a national bird. If you love these impressive birds that stand on one leg, a framed flamingo art print is definitely a great decoration for your living space.
