flamingos
One-legged standers
Flamingos is the plural of flamingo, the tall wading bird with pink plumage, long legs, and a curved bill.
The pink color comes from pigments in their diet of shrimp and algae.
They're known for standing on one leg and for their large, noisy colonies: We saw flamingos at the lake.
Plastic flamingos are a kitschy lawn ornament.
