Greater Flamingos Class: Aves Phoenicopterus roseus Greater Flamingos Class: Aves. Order: Phoenicopteriformes. Family: Phoenicopteridae. Physical Description: The greater flamingo is the tallest flamingo reaching about 3.5- 5’. The average weight of a flamingo is 8.75 lbs. Their wingspan is about 5-6’ across. They are a pink color, with long skinny legs and webbed pink feet with three toes. It has a very long neck and curved beak. Legs, under feathers and beak are the brightest pink color. Males and females look alike, although the male is a little larger. The flamingo is a filter feeder and it is uniquely adapted to feed on small The flamingo has two rows of lamallae or comb- like bristles that line the inside of its bill. It also has bristles on its tongue that help it filter food out of the water. Diet in the Wild: Plankton, tiny fish, small shrimp, mollusks, fly larvae, insects, worms, seeds, blue-green algae, and other vegetation Diet at the Zoo: flamingo chow, krill Habitat & Range: Northwest and East Africa, Middle East, India. Flamingos are found in warm, watery regions. They favor environments like estuaries, mudflats, coastal lagoons, and saline or alkaline lakes. Life Span: 20-30 years Perils in the wild: turkey vultures, foxes, badgers, wild boars, raccoons, jaguars, and margays. Yellow- legged gulls and other birds will prey on eggs and flightless young. Humans will also hunt flamingos for meat or for their eggs. Physical Adaptations: Their bent bills allow them to feed on small organisms. In muddy flats or shallow water, they use their long legs and webbed feet to stir up the bottom. They then bury their bills, or even their entire heads, and suck up both mud and water to access the tasty morsels within. A flamingo's beak has a filter-like structure to remove food from the water before the liquid is expelled. Large, webbed feet allow the flamingo to live in very muddy terrain Behavioral Adaptations: Diurnal Live in colonies or flocks They live in colonies of up to 200,000 individuals for protection. They find safety in numbers, which helps to protect individual birds from predators while their heads are down in the mud. They spend most of the day feeding. When an area no longer provides enough food, the flamingos will migrate to another location at night. Flamingos are very skittish and will fly away if they are disturbed. 09/04/2012 They are also very vocal and have a number of different calls. Breeding pairs have location calls to help locate each other and alarm calls are used to warn the group of danger. When flamingos fly in large groups they are often mistaken for geese because of the load honking sound they make. The chicks even make calls while they are in the egg that their parents learn to recognize. Reproduction and Development: Greater flamingos breed while gathered in groups. Male and female flamingos court each other with a variety of display behaviors that involve head movements, wing displays and vocalizations. Male and female pairs usually mate for life. Once mating is complete, a pair takes turns incubating their single egg (possibly 2) on a foot tall mound of mud by folding their long legs and straddling the nest for 21-37 days, or until hatched Young flamingos are born gray and white and have a straight bill. After the chick first hatches they are fed a substance called "crop milk" which comes from the parents' upper digestive tract. Either parent can feed with crop milk; and other flamingos can act as foster feeders. The chicks fledge in about 70-75 days. Chicks won't reach their full adult size for 1 ½ to 2 years and they won't have adult plumage for 2-4 years. They turn pink at about 2 years old. In years when wetlands and pools are dry and food is scarce, flamingoes may not breed. Additional Information: Shrimplike crustaceans are responsible for the flamingo's pink color. The birds pale in captivity unless their diet is supplemented. In the wild, flamingos won’t turn pink until they are 1-2 years old. The flamingo's color is partly determined by its diet. Some of the food the flamingo eats contains carotenoid pigments. These pigments are broken down in the liver and are then deposited into the feathers, skin, and egg yolk of the flamingo. Flamingo comes from the Latin word “flame” In Egypt, large numbers of greater flamingos are shot or captured to be sold in markets, and egg collection remains a threat in some areas, such as in Algeria. Conservation Status: Least Concern Conservation Efforts: The greater flamingo is protected under a range of international legislation, and a variety of conservation initiatives are underway for the species. These include management of colonies in France and Spain, to increase suitable nesting sites, as well as a satellite tracking program in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, and the removal of sand polluted with lead shot at a salt lake in Cyprus. The greater flamingo breeds quite well in captivity and breeding populations are currently maintained at various locations.

    Wetland birds in the recent fossil record of Britain and northwest Europe John R. Stewart 18. Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus, Deep Bay, Mai Po, Hong Kong, February 1995. Geological evidence suggests that Dalmatian Pelicans bred in Britain, and in other western European countries (including The Netherlands and Denmark), prior to and during the Iron Age. Ray Tipper. ABSTRACT Wetland habitats in Britain and other parts of western Europe have been severely depleted during the latter part of the Holocene owing principally to drainage and land reclamation. Changes in the distribution of a number of wetland bird species can be gauged from archaeological and geological site records of larger birds, whose remains are generally better preserved. Key species are discussed here, including a heron Nycticorax fenensis and a crane Grus primigenia, two extinct species named on possibly uncertain fossil evidence. We can let our minds wander back to the misty realms of fifteen hundred years ago, to a wonderful Britain which was alive with bird song from coast to coast, which sheltered wolves, bears and boars in its dark woodlands, cranes in its marshes, bustards on its heaths and beavers by its streams, and we can visualize the great pink pelican sweeping on its huge pinions over the reedy waterways which then penetrated by secret paths into the very heart of what is now Somerset.

  • GREATER and LESSER FLAMINGOS Phoenicopterus Ruber and Phoeniconaias Minor
    GREATER AND LESSER FLAMINGOS Phoenicopterus ruber and Phoeniconaias minor Greater and Lesser Flamingos © Cliff Buckton © P & H Harris Lesser Flamingo The Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor is the smallest of the world's five flamingo species. It occurs primarily in the Rift Valley lakes of East Africa with about 4 to 5 million birds estimated, but also in small populations in Namibia/Botswana (40,000), Mauritania/Senegal (15,400), Ethiopia (8,300). The alkaline lakes of the Rift Valley are the primary feeding areas for the East Africa population. During non-breeding periods these lakes often hold almost the entire population. Huge feeding flocks of 1-2 million birds frequently gather on lakes Bogoria and Nakuru, creating one of the most stunning wildlife spectacles in the world. Although it is still the most numerous of the five species, the Lesser Flamingo is classified as globally "near threatened" due primarily to its dependence on a limited number of unprotected breeding sites and threats of proposed soda-ash mining and hydro-electric power schemes on the main breeding lakes. The question of whether there is occasional interchange between the East African and southern African populations has yet to be resolved definitely, but considerable circumstantial evidence has now been assembled to show that East African Lesser Flamingos probably do fly to Botswana to breed during periods when the Lake Makgadikgadi Salt Pans are flooded. Their migration routes, flight range and stopover places (if any) are still unknown. It is now known that Lesser Flamingos do fly during the day, at great heights, well above the normal diurnal movement of eagles, their main aerial predator.

    Delfino and Aldana-Ardila. Flamingo 2020, pages: 21-26. Comments on the population status of Chilean flamingos at Lagoa do Peixe National Park, Southern Brazil Henrique Cardoso Delfino 1* & Oscar Maurício Aldana-Ardila 1 1 Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Instituto de Biociências, Departamento de Zoologia, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Biologia Animal, Laboratório de Ecologia e Sistemática de Aves e Mamíferos Marinhos (LABSMAR). Av. Bento Gonçalves, 9500. CEP: 91509-900, Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In South America, the Chilean flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) is distributed from south of the Equator to southern Argentina, passing by the Brazilian coast. One of the locations where this species is present in southern Brazil is the Lagoa do Peixe National Park, between the cities of Mostardas and Tavares, in Rio Grande do Sul state. This area is a natural reserve implemented to conserve both coastal biodiversity and the many species of migratory birds that use the area in contranuptial periods. Although the flamingo is well known in the region, there is a lack, in scientific literature, of information about the population of flamingos living inside the park. In this paper, we comment on the current population and conservation status of Chilean flamingos in the Lagoa do Peixe National Park, bringing attention to the necessities to protect the park from political pressures and to increase research activity on these birds in this area. Resumen En América del Sur, el flamenco austral (Phoenicopterus chilensis) se distribuye desde el sur del Ecuador hasta el sur de Argentina, pasando por la costa brasileña.

Acigol Lake is the main sodium sulfate production area in Turkey. Sodium sulfate production is carried out by industrial firms and high amounts of water are pumped from lake to salt pans. In this study, spatial and temporal variation of flamingos’ feeding sites due to water pumping is investigated by using remote sensing. Dry and water covered areas were determined by using modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI). Then, the MNDWI images were classified to ‘feeding by wading’ and ‘feeding by swimming’ areas by using the in-situ depth measurements.

    nld n hn: Wht r th? Whr d th fr? DAVID S. LEE N.C. State Museum of Natural Sciences P.O. Box 27647, Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Pearson et al. (1942), Sprunt and Chamberlain (1949), and the American Ornithol- ogists' Union Check-list (1957, 1983) consider the records of Greater [American] Flamin- gos 1 in the Carolinas as naturally occurring vagrants. The primary South Carolina records are ones provided by Audubon (1840-1844) and Wayne (1887). The Audubon record is somewhat vague. "A very few of these birds have been known to proceed eastward of the Floridas beyond Charleston in South Carolina, and some have been procured there within eight or ten years back." Wayne's record is of a young, storm-driven male killed on DeBardien Island in September 1876. The specimen was not saved. Sprunt and Chamber- lain (1949) cite an apparent "tongue in cheek" news clipping from the Charleston Courier on 20 July 1818 providing evidence of an even earlier record. It states, "We hope that they [other migrating birds] will meet with better reception than the unfortunate flamingo who recently paid us the honor of a visit from South America, but before he arrived in the metropolis, was slain at John's Island by a man who mistook him for a British soldier." The news article states that the bird was placed in the Charleston Museum, but by 1949 there was no record of its existence. Other records of flamingos available for South Carolina are provided in Table 1. In North Carolina the earliest record was made by the manager of the Pea Island Refuge, Samuel A.
