Flamingoes A statistic of the flamingo is that the proportion of the neck and leg length to that of the body is greater than in any other bird. One look at it and this is not hard to believe. Here is a group of Greater Flamingoes engaged in a siesta hour. There are six flamingo species in the world, of which the Greater has by far the biggest range. It is found in the Caribbean and parts of South America, in parts of Afrcia, Europe and Asia. Zoologically they are grouped with the ducks, geese and swans, though the extreme nature of their structure has provided scientists with much debate over the years. They are essentially birds of a mud and shallow water habitat, feeding characteristically with lowered head and bill pointed aft, the top mandible thereby becoming the lower, using the bill as a sieve for minute organisms of plant and animal life. This not only sustains them but has a striking effect on the\ degree of pink in their plumage. But it is when the siesta hour is over and they take flight again that flamingoes present their most impressive sight. The upper parts of their wings are crimson and their tips black; their massed take-off and the vocal clamour that attends it is one of the greatest natural spectacles the world has to offer. This is one of a series of six menu cards depicting some of the beautiful birds that may be seen in and around the countries and oceans served by P & O ships. The original oil paintings were specially executed and described for P & O by Keith Shackleton, R.S.M.A, S.W.L.A., and printed in England by Daniel Greenaway & Sons Ltd.
