My Blog
Welcome to my little corner of the internet — where everything is proudly pink, wonderfully wild, and all about flamingos.
I’m Mingo, your official flamingo guide, storyteller, and occasional nest-checker. Around here, I’ll be sharing news, facts, fun stories, and conservation updates about flamingos — from their historic return to Florida to the fascinating ways they live, nest, and thrive around the world.
Some posts will teach you something new.
Some will make you smile.
And some will remind us all why protecting flamingos and their habitats matters so much.
So grab your binoculars, keep a respectful distance, and wade in with me as we celebrate flamingos — past, present, and future.
Thanks for flocking by.
— Mingo the Flamingo 🦩💗
