Description
Beautiful flamingo stuffed plush toy, available in two sizes: 25cm or 50cm in height.
They’re both pink and soft, making them the perfect cuddly friends.
Flamingos’ knees are actually hidden under their feathers. The leg joint that you see bending is actually their ankle!
Flamingo chicks are born grey or white with fluffier plumage to keep them warm. It can take up to 3 years to achieve the pink, orange or red feathers. They eat for several hours a day, holding their bent bills upside down while feeding. Baby flamingos are born with a straight bill but after a few months, it grows more and starts to have that distinctive break curve so that can start to feed themselves.
Sadly one of the threats to flamingos in the wild is illegal poaching for their feathers and hunting for their eggs as a delicacy.
