Greater Flamingo, you beautiful wading bird. What a captivating sight you are! Long-legged, web-footed wonder with aquiline beak; taking to the sky in style! Your courtship dance is almost hypnotic You move with such giraffe-like grace; wading along the edges of shallow, all decked out in glorious pink.
