some other animal fun fact: why are bird nests always so clean?
reply
The parents always eat the shit of their young. When the feed them, they poop right after and the parents clean it up. Im not making it up.

Yes. I think it has some kind of protein that makes them that color. Thats why at the zoo, they arent as pink as they should be.

Unfortunately, the internet says this fun is exclusive to flamingos
reply
ek, maybe you should test the theory? In Taiwan, they have a fishing pool where you could fish for shrimp. Then they would cook them up for you, or use them in hotpot.

Good idea. Do you think one week of eating only shrimp is enough to test the theory?
reply
You would have to eat a lot of shrimp in that week. Reminds me of one of those crawfish boils. I have heard of people eating lots carrots and their skin turning orange.
A group of flamingos is called a "flamboyance".

I have no idea why, but English has many absurd names for groups of animals.
