Flamingos


For Christmas the girls got a set of 4 bird hand puppets. They included a peacock, a pelican, a bald eagle, and a flamingo. Eryn and I have been playing with them and having talks about what they eat and where they live.
Naturally, she likes the flamingo the best because it's pink. Today while we were playing with the birds Eryn says, "Where do the flamingos get their shrimps? At the lobster place (Red Lobster)? That's too expensive. It's not for kids."

Did you know that flamingos are actually white? The food that they eat changes their pigment to pink due to their diet. I saw it on a history channel thing last week. Random, but true!

Eryn now wants to eat shrimp in hopes that she'll turn pink.
