With their distinctive pink colouring and one-legged stance, flamingos are easily the most recognizable bird in the world. Most of us don't know, however, that there are actually six different species of flamingo, each differing in size and hue - and, despite excellent fossil records, scientists have had a difficult time positioning the flamingo within the avian genetic tree. In this book, Caitlin R. Kight untangles the scientific knowledge about this unusual ornithological wonder and looks at how it has figured in popular culture.
