Marching Flamingos - Bahamas

January 2010
No performing monkeys here, one and all come to see the marching flamingos! Perfectly synchronized movements are executed to the amazement of the audience, including their trainers who have no idea how they were originally trained.

That fat lady was like: "mmm... Strawberry chicken wings"

[khgdfs]

rrr for god sake the poor things.They are not trained they are just running from a human which is a natural thing for a flamingo who cant fly.

I've seen chickens do similar things, its probably less training and more natural behaviour.

In the US flamingoes have been made fun of in cartoons, Disney movies, in lawn ornaments. They have been ridiculed so when ppl see this they are impressed.

But pink flamingoes are wading birds, which means they find their food underwater that's why they have this bill like a deep spoon that shovels the mud when their head is inverted underwater, and those long legs.

They are also migratory birds. This video shows they are deprived of both water to wade in and flight.

Rate it 1 star.

Yeah, they're pretty.

It's so sad. I wanna save all the animals in the world. ;(

You heard, I'm sure, that they clip the birds'wings.

To see truly beautiful pink flamingoes in the wild, search for "flamands rose" which is Fench (misspelled, it should be flamants with a T but ppl spelled it like that) and you'll forget this lousy clip.

I'm happy to see comments like yours. The comments I see usually praise this kind of torture.

[Myfrogsnameisbob]

Thank you! This is torture!

[Myfrogsnameisbob]

They're being tortured. It's not cool.
