No one knows why flamingos stand on one leg, but it works.
A certain inherent propensity for the spectacular is rendered entirely unsurprising in the gracious poise of the flamingo. The flamingo is without affectation, moves with decided leisureliness; yet always one must stop and look. The Romans considered their tongues a delicacy.
Perhaps you have a friend who you associate with exotic charm, perhaps you want to celebrate a quirk of character, or perhaps you are thinking of someone who has just come back from holiday looking rather sunburnt: write them a letter.

Flamingo Fact
The distinctive pink colour of flamingos comes from a pigment found in the algae, larvae and shrimp in their food. The pigment must be consumed in sufficient quantities before it begins to colour the skin and feathers.
