Red, purple, and pink are all colors that make the Flamingo a distinctive creature in the wild. They love shallow water and sandy islands all over the world. Their color range depends solely on their diet; they truly are what they eat. When they eat, their mouths filter through the water while their heads are upside down. These social creatures love to be surrounded by many of their own, living in colonies. This lifelike stuffed toy is the perfect birthday gift for kids, Christmas gift for teens, or unique gift for adults. When Flamingos are born, their beaks are straight and they eventually curve from use. These amazing creatures can live for 20+ years and will never leave your side. Wild Republic has been developing animal plush and educational toys for kids of all ages since 1979, with a unique specialization in lifelike stuffed animals.
