February 21 - Flamangos

"You can be my flamingo, because pink is the new kind of lingo."

~ Steven Tyler, Pink

Without their usual shrimp-filled diet, the flamingo of Mangonesia do not develop the soft pink feathers.  Instead they have a deepened golden hue, a direct result of a mango fruit obsession.

Perhaps the most unsettling difference, though, is the sound. A flamango smacks its beak after every bite, producing a sticky, echoing squelch that has been described as "more wet than it needs to be".  

This flamingo design is one from the Isopresso balloon instruction channel.  I was about to make one in pink when brain shouted this might have possibilities ... brain sometimes not so smort.
