Flamingos or flamingoes/fləˈmɪŋɡoʊz/ are a type of wading bird in the genus Phoenicopterus, the only genus in the family Phoenicopteridae. There are four flamingo species in the Americas and two species in the Old World.
Flamingo comes from Spanish flamenco, "with the colour of flame", in turn coming from Provençal flamenc from flama "flame" and Germanic-like suffix -ing, with a possible influence of words like Fleming. A similar etymology has the Latinate Greek term Phoenicopterus (from Greek: φοινικόπτερος phoinikopteros), literally "blood red-feathered".
Traditionally, the long-legged Ciconiiformes, probably a paraphyletic assemblage, have been considered the flamingos' closest relatives and the family was included in the order. Usually the ibises and spoonbills of the Threskiornithidae were considered their closest relatives within this order. Earlier genetic studies, such as those of Charles Sibley and colleagues, also supported this relationship. Relationships to the waterfowl were considered as well, especially as flamingos are parasitized by feather lice of the genus Anaticola, which are otherwise exclusively found on ducks and geese. The peculiar presbyornithids were used to argue for a close relationship between flamingos, waterfowl, and waders. A 2002 paper concluded they are waterfowl, but a 2014 comprehensive study of bird orders found that flamingos and grebes are not waterfowl, but rather are part of Columbea along with doves, sandgrouse, and mesites.

The (unintentionally hilarious) mating dance of the Andean flamingo (Phoenicopterus andinus). These guys are puttering around an extremely caustic salt lake in Chile, high on the Altiplano in the Andes mountains in South America.

Flamingos gather in their tens of thousands on the edges of Lake Bogoria, a saline, alkaline lake fringed with giezers.

Oooh...
Time was, time was
Time was when we had fun
On the schoolyard swings
When we exchanged graduation rings
One lovely yesterday
(Yesterday, yesterday)
Time was when we wrote
Love letters in the sand
Or lingered over our coffee and
Dreaming the time away
(The time away)
Picnics and hayrides
And midwinter sleigh rides
And never apart
High hikes in the country
And there's more than one tree
On which I've a place
In your heart
Darling, every tomorrow
Will be complete
If all our moments
Are half as sweet
As all our time was then
As all our time was
