I hope you enjoy these stunning flamingo art prints, feel free to download them for your own interiors or crafts. The flamingos gorgeous colouring and large majestic appearance may explain why they have been such a popular trend in interiors over the last few years. Why they do this, ornithologists don’t really know why. The other leg is usually tucked under their bodies. Mainly, their diet of shrimp and blue-green algae.Īs well as Southern Europe, Flamingos are also found in the Americas, Africa and Asia.įlamingos are not just renowned for their fabulous pink coloring they are also renowned for standing on one leg. They acquire their famous pink colouring from the food they eat. Flamingos are not born with pink feathers. In fact, the name Flamingo comes from the Spanish and Portuguese word “ flemengo” which translates as flame-coloured. “One of the great birdwatching sights of the Algarve are the flocks of Greater Flamingos that can be seen in the brackish lagoons and saltpans close to the coast.” The flamingos in Portugal are normally found in the saltpans (Salinas) and lagoons of the Ria Formosa Natural Park in the Algarve. There lovely pink colour is a bit of a giveaway, also they tend to gather in large flocks. Not surprisingly flamingos aren’t hard to spot. He knows all the best places locally to spot the flocks of wild flamingos.

My father is a well-known ornithologist and bird book author. Every year I visit my parents in Southern Portugal and my father takes his grandsons on a bird safari. A fabulous and flamboyant collection of vintage flamingo art prints.
