How beautiful,
Very graceful,
Waterfowl
Wading in the shallow waters
Extending their colorful and radiant wings
Shades of oranges, reds, and pinks
Eating algae, larvae, small fishes
And small insects
Standing on one leg
Their webbed feet supported
By the mud
Strong and rare swimmers
Que hermosos!
Que extraordinario!
Sus larga vibrantes alas!
The long curving necks
The long curved bill
Make them very unique
The vocal (voice) ranges
Hooking, growling and grunting
They mingle and fly by the flock of dozens
Head flagging,
Marching up and down
And saluting with their wings
Time to court, the males will perform
Get into their group and dance their heart out
The performance begins, love is in the air
Among the available flamingos
Ready to be wooed,
Watching them dance back and forth
Their extended wings gliding high
Long necks are flagging
What a perfect choreography
Hermoso!
Gracioso!
Bailarines con talento!
Extending their awesome colorful wings
Showing a wonderful performance
They can touch the hearts
And warm the soul
Get ready to be swept off your feet
