I didn't know...the only non-theme park flamingo's I've seen in Florida were plastic and stuck in folks front yards! :)
 
many a people think that the flamingo is not indigenous to our humble state. BTW, it supposedly get's it's pink color from the grass shrimp that make up the bulk of it's diet. I have a hard time swallowing that one.
 
So far the results stand as...

Dan the Manatee... 2 votes

Flo the Flamingo... 1 votes

The Florida Conch... 3 vote
 
Voting is slow... I guess us Floridians know how to kick back!

I have heard the same thing, and in checking ask jeeves its because of the beta carotene contained in the shrimp.

I eat lots of boiled shrimp and I ain't pink (yet).
 
ID,you gotta eat shrimp and stand around in the Fla sun in yer skivvies for a day,you'll get pink;)
 
Since my birth certificate states Key West, Florida as my place of birth and my Dad still has a home on Islamorada may I vote? Even though I live in Georgia some almost 20 years? I do get back to the Keys and now that I am diving, I definetly will atleast annually if not more.Next planned trip to Fla is Ginnie Springs May 10-12. Then again WPB Memorial Weekend. I will be down to Islamorada in August for one week. So, does my vote count? Should I send you a pm? Or am I now a Floridian orphan?
