For now, they’re busy being sleepy, gray flamingos! 囹勇 | Fort Worth Zoo | Facebook

35 reactions | The lesser flamingo(African flamingo) is the smallest species of flamingo, though it is a tall and large bird by most standards. The species can weigh from 2.6 to 6 lb. Most of the plumage is pinkish white. The clearest difference between this species and the greater flamingo, is the much more extensive black on the bill. #didyouknow #funfact #funfactfriday #flamingo | Wildlife World Zoo | Facebook
