Happy Flamingo Friday everyone!

It is the first time that I took such a close look at the bill which looks like a zipper!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend :-)

Fabulous close up!

Nice closeup. I can never figure out how they manage to eat. I know they manage quite well however.

[Mark Prince]

@pej76 They put their beaks and sometimes whole head underwater, which fills their beaks with water. They then sieve the water through those "zippers" which traps any tiny shrimps and suchlike in their beaks, that is what they eat.

[Elisa Smith]

That really is interesting, happy Friday to you too.
