days, that's how long the flamingo has been breeding
When young flamingos are 5 to 8 days old, they are already leaving the nest. All these young flamingos gather in one big group. It is like a preschool for flamingos.
Flamingos often stand on one leg while resting to keep their bodies warmer. This is because they lose a lot of heat through their legs. They also tuck their head and neck under a wing. Nice and warm.
