Flamingo
Flamingos /fləˈmɪŋɡz/ are type of wading bird in the family Phoenicopteridae, the only family in the order Phoenicopteriformes. They are famous for their bright pink feathers, stilt-like legs, and S-shaped neck. The word "flamingo" comes from the Spanish and Latin word "flamenco" which means fire, and refers to the bright color of the birds' feathers. Not all flamingos are brightly colored, however, and some of the birds are mostly gray or white. The strength of a flamingo's coloration comes from its diet.


Species
American Flamingo
There are six distinct species of flamingo, but it takes a trained eye to distinguish them. Even though there are only six species of flamingos in the world, birders and non-birders alike can instantly recognize these flamboyant birds. These distinctive wading bird are some of the most unique in the world, though each species has its own special characteristics.

Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor)

Puna (James's) Flamingo (Phoenicoparrus jamesi)

Behavior

Flamingos are strong but rare swimmers and powerful fliers, even though they're most often seen just wading. Flamingos do fly very well, however, and many flamingos migrate or regularly fly between the best food sources and nesting grounds.
 
When flying in a flock, the top speed of a flamingo can be as high as 35 miles per hour. They can seem ungainly or clumsy in flight, however, because their long necks stretch out in front of their bodies and their long legs dangle well past their short tails.
 
Flamingos hold their bills upside down while feeding, often for several hours a day, so they can filter out their food while skimming the water. They may seem to nibble or scoop at the surface of the water as they strain out small bits of algae, insects, brine shrimp and other food material.
 
A flamingo chick's bill is small and straight, without any distinct color patches. After a few months, their growing bills will develop the distinct "break" curve and they will be eating mostly on their own.
 
Flamingos are monogamous birds that lay only a single egg each year. If that egg is lost or damaged, they do not typically lay a replacement. If a flamingo colony is ransacked by predators or hit with a natural disaster, it can take several years for the birds to recover and for their population to grow again.
 
Parent flamingos feed their chicks exclusively crop milk for 5-12 days after hatching, though young flamingos may continue to eat crop milk for up to two months as their bills develop. This high fat, high protein substance is not like mammalian milk, but is excellent nutrition for growing chicks. Parent flamingos produce crop milk in their digestive tracts and regurgitate it to feed their young.
 

Flamingo chicks are born gray or white and take up to three years to reach their mature pink, orange or red plumage. Their young feathers are much less structured and fluffy than adult plumage, but that down provides excellent insulation to help keep baby flamingos warm.

Flamingos have a wild lifespan of 20-30 years, but in captivity have been recorded as living up to 50 years or longer. Captive flamingos typically live longer because they are not subject to predators, poachers or other threats, and they receive excellent veterinary care and abundant food.


Appereance
The pink or reddish color of flamingos comes from carotenoids in their diet of animal and plant plankton. These carotenoids are broken down into pigments by liver enzymes. The source of this varies by species, and affects the saturation of color. Flamingos whose sole diet is blue-green algae are darker in color compared to those who get it second hand (e.g. from animals that have digested blue-green algae).

Where to find
Chilean, Andean and James' flamingos live in South America, and the greater and lesser flamingos live in Africa. Greater flamingos can also be found in the Middle East and India. Flamingos are water birds, so they live in and around lagoons or lakes. These bodies of water tend to be saline or alkaline


Feeding
Flamingos filter-feed on brine shrimp and blue-green algae. Their beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. The filtering of food items is assisted by hairy structures called lamellae which line the mandibles, and the large rough-surfaced tongue.

Nasional Monument

Hello bloggers! This time I wanna tell about you about Jakarta's icon, National Monument or what we usually call "Monas".



As you know, Monas is the icon of the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta. It is located in the middle of the Merdeka Square, Center Jakarta. Monas is built to commemorate the struggle for Indonesian Independence.




Monas began the construction in August 1959 under the direction of President Soekarno. The overall building is designed by some architects, Sudarsono, Frederich Silaban and Ir. Rooseno. On August 17, 1961, the monument was inaugurated by President Soekarno and opened to the public since July 12, 1975. 




Monas is 132 meters tall and yoni phallus-shaped. The entire building is covered by marble.

the flame that makes the
 Monas the way diferent
with any monuments
Flame
At the top there is a cup that is topped with a bronze flame height of 17 meters and a diameter of 6 meters with a weight of 14.5 tons. This flame coated gold weighing 45 kg. Flame monument consists of 77 sections joined together.

Peak Court
Top court breadth of 11x11 m. To reach the top court, visitors can use the elevator to travel about 3 minutes long. There are emergency stairs all around the building. From the top of the monument, visitors can see the skyscrapers buildings of Jakarta. The visitors even can see Mount Salak in West Java and the Java Sea to the Thousand Islands.

This extents 45x45 m. Height of the base under the Monument to the court 17 meters. In this section visitors can see Monument Park which is a beautiful city forest.

Historical Museum At the bottom of the monument there is a National Museum. Its height is 8 feet and the comprehensive is 80x80 m. This museum shows the history of the struggle of the Indonesian nation.


The building of Monas is located in the middle of the park called Monument Park. It is a large park where you can take a rest because there are benches available there or getting some things like souvenirs because there are a lot of pkl. You can see a lot of people visit Monas especially in holiday. The entrance to the Monument Park just filled with human and pkl.





Monument Park is also equipped with a jet waters and lighting that shines the waters. The view just so beautiful especially in the night.



To reach Monas, you can useJabodetabek KRL types express which stops at Gambir Station. You can also use Trans Jakarta Bus transportation facilities. If you use personal vehicles, there is an available parking lot at IRTI, or you can park your vehicle at Gambir Station. But, I reccomend you to use bajaj, so that you can get a new experience!
