Flamingos are groupie birds so the mirrors at the back give them security and a sense of being part of a larger flock

This afternoon a number of the team headed out to do the touristy thing at the local Parqu das Aves. This place was amazing and we all wished we had more time to explore the 5 hectacres and view the 800 birds. With an entry of approx NZD14 the price was cheap for the experience. Many birds were in their natural habitat without enclosures and cages. Everyone was camera happy so here a few snaps from the day. Brazil with its reputation for bright vibrant colours just has taken them from mother nature.
