The Common Pink Flamingo. Easily identified by the 2 wire legs. Usually found in a pair, one feeding and one head up. Shiny, hard plastic bodies and black tipped yellow bills make these a showy specimen. This is the most common species found in mobile home parks and southern rural communities.
Slightly larger than Pinkus Familiarus, the Deluxacus is always found in an upright position. The legs are not just 2 wires, but are a full snap in harness. They particularly like shaded areas with plenty of bark mulch to nest in.
Once thought a sub-species of Deluxacus, the Pinkus is now regarded as a seperate species. It is differentiated by the lack of sheen to the feathers, which is a camoflague adaptation. It lives in open, bright sunny areas and enjoys long swaths of green grass.
Twirlacus is a brand new species found on a recent expedition to Taiwan! Note the adapted wing which allows much upward thrust, enabling them to be excellent flyers. They have suffered in this adaptation however, by the lost of one leg. They move with a hopping gait, but once the wind picks up they really take off! An exciting new find!
