We had a flock of flamingos once on our front lawn, but they were the manufactured kind and a bit of housewarming fun arranged by a relative.

So, it was a real treat recently to see real, live flamingos in the flesh. I loved watching them twist and turn their necks before tucking them beneath their feathers as part of nestling in for comfort. While not sure just how I did expect them to sound, it was a fun surprise to hear their collective calls sound somewhat like ducks.
