Feeling of meeting her friends...

Or, the feeling of first time meeting the family of a new girlfriend.

Admit it, meeting the family or the best friends of your new main squeeze for the first time means a lot of scrutiny and sceptical stares.

Like this flamboyance of flamingos are reminding us about, still.

Start of a beautiful friendship

Normally, the staring will end soon. Hopefully because you are accepted.

In the other alternative, these guys are here to remind you to act your best.

Thank you, guys!

“Pen and inkwell”

“I'm lucky enough to live close to the Camargue, a perfect place to photograph pink flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus). This image shows a flamingo searching for prey in a muddy pond. The photograph was taken late in the day, with light cloud cover. Positive exposure compensation produced the high-key effect. The result reminded me of a paintbrush covered in ink.”

Peek-a-boo-on-a-stick-for-you!

The flamingo is famous for being able to stand and sleep on one leg. Even the whole flamboyance does it at once from time to time.

The reasons are a treat developed by evolution: they have a leg that locks and balance the bird, minimizing the energy and muscle movement while resting on one leg.

Some speculate it is temperature regulating, reducing bodypart exposure to low temperatures. Other thinks it is to reduce the exposure of leg and body to harsh living conditions, some flamingos live in high saline lake and marshes.

Keeping an eye

Anyway, they will have an eye for you, even when resting. Or, at least one eye. Flamingos usually sleep together in groups for safety reasons. Because of this, there is usually a sentry who stays awake to keep an eye out for predators. While the guard keeps watch, the other flamingos stand on one leg and rest their heads on their backs.

They can sleep like this on one leg for a long time.
