Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Volcanoes are known for being extremely hot and emitting harmful chemicals-- which is, of course, why they make the perfect home for the Lesser Flamingo. These birds have evolved to not only survive but breed near the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano; the nearby lake can reach temperatures of 40 °C (104 °F) and a pH of 12, but over 2 million lesser flamingos successfully build their nests and raise their young there every year.

Lesser Flamingo

Don't let the name of this bird fool you, the Lesser Flamingo is actually quite metal. Their favorite breeding ground is a lake where almost nothing else can survive, relying on the toxicity of the lake in order to keep off predators. However, these fine fellows are near threatened, even though they are the most numerous species of flamingo. Lets hope they can rock on for a long time. Learn More!

Australian Kestrel

One of the smallest kinds of falcons, they do not rely on speed to catch their prey (mainly that of bugs). They often hover as they hunt over grasslands, and it will sometimes rely on bushfires in order to hunt. As insects hop away from the flames, the Australian kestrel makes its move. Learn More!

It was written that there's a single Lesser Flamingo among the numerous Greater Flamingos. I found him.

Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor)

As its name suggests, the Lesser Flamingo is the smallest of the flamingo species. They lay a single egg, and the hatched chicks are led to fresh water by a few adult birds - a journey of which can reach over 20 miles (32 km).

Posting birds until I hit post limit: Lesser flamingo

Lesser flamingoes nest in lakes of boiling acid. They can resist the heat and the acid, but the various predators that want to eat them can't, so it protects their eggs and young.
