Not a common bird in the Louisville area unless you happen to be at the Louisville Zoo.

 

In case you've never heard a flamingo, here's what a bunch of them sound like. Almost sounds like a sound effect from a Sci-Fi movie.

Poor guy has a broken horn. Sort of reminds me of my first car...

I was at the local zoo yesterday and was walking by a large cage that contained some sort of rare bird. Since it was so cold out, the birds in the exhibit were all huddled near the back of the large, fenced cage where they had some heat lamps to keep them warm. The little bird in the photo, however, was front-and-center taking in the passers by.

I guess one bird's cage is another bird's perch.

I believe this is the bird from which all feather dusters are manufactured...

This eagle means business!
