OK Something completely different than the spew across US media at the mo..
Seems that.... to quote one Sinatra, "that's life"
And now, from another Sinatra, daughter Nancy, a 'tweet' not about politics or music or entertainment (the norm)
On Flamingos ...
What caught my attention is the vivid video... but reading the text, it's true! Why the flamingo is pink.... (spoiler: shrimp!)

Flamingos are not pink.

They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae.
