Animal of Week #7: Flamingo

You can see flamingos in your local zoo or even in many storybooks. Have you ever wondered why flamingos are pink? Well, a flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha. Isn't that just strange? I have always wondered that so, I thought I would share that if you were also wondering. Flamingos are very interesting animals they are so talented that they can stand on only one foot. They seem like very gentles animals and which they are to people. There are 5 species of flamingos that occur throughout the world. The greater flamingo is as tall as a grown-up person is. The lesser flamingo is as tall as a first-grader.
The five species are:
- Caribbean Flamingo
- Greater Flamingo
- Chilean Flamingo
- Lesser Flamingo
- Andean Flamingo
- James Flamingo
Where do Flamingos live?
Flamingos live in lagoons, or lakes, where there is lots of mud and water. Flamingos use many of habitats: swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands. The depth of the water is especially important not only for feeding, but for nesting.
What do they eat?
The typical flamingo diet consists of seeds, blue-green algae, and mollusks they filter out of the water. Using their long legs and partially webbed feet, flamingos will stamp on the muddy bottom of lagoons to mix the food particles with the water. Different species of flamingo have slightly different shaped bills; the different shapes helping it obtain slightly different types of food. Flamingos drink fresh water always.

I think flamingos are very awesome animals and they catch my eye every time I go to the zoo. I hope they never become extinct. That would be very sad if they did. Well what do you think of flamingos? Comment below and tell me! Enjoy (:

The Music Influence On People's Lives

Music is a big part of peoples life. We all listen to it sometime or another. Most people listen to it when they drive or are working. It seems like everywhere you are, there is music playing in the background. People always talk about the newest songs out. I think music makes my day a lot better and makes it go by faster. I think most genres are good because it all has a meaning that means something nice or good. If it didn't mean something or the singer did not want to state a point, then the song just would not be a song. That's what I like about music. It just is nice to have in our lives. Do you think it makes your day go by faster? Do you like to listen to music to it while you do stuff? If you do, what kind of music do you listen to? Let me know your thoughts about music and how it effects your day.

Quote of the Week #7

 " If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. "

- Mary Kay Ash

 

 

Look at this quote. What do you think this means? I think it means that whatever your mind set is when you are doing something, is how you perform the action. What I mean by this is, if you do something with the mind set that you aren't going to do it right or that you can't, you won't be able to. If you go in thinking and believing that you can and will, then that's exactly what will happen. Always try to stay positive and not negative because your thoughts can really affect you. Be like the train and say, " I think I can. I think I can. " If you do, then you will. Believe in yourself and show it by your thoughts and the words that you say.

Song of the Week #6: Jojo - A little too late

Have you ever had a guy cheat on you? Well then you could relate to this song right here. In this song Jojo is basically saying it's to late to apologize for what you have done. No girl should ever be with a guy that is going to cheat on her. The one thing I really like about this song is that she is saying that you messed up, but I am moving on to something better. (: I know that people make mistakes and they should be forgiven for them, but if you just can't stay loyal with someone then the relationship should not go on any longer. I hope you guys enjoy this song as much as I do. (:

Poem of the Week #8 : Labeled as a Friend

Labeled as a Friend

The waves will never wash away the pain

The sun will never burn out the memories

The tears once shed will leave a stain

We can no longer dance in the rain

The nights you held me close to your heart

I wish that I could just forget

Because you had already aimed your dart

Before we even had a start

Maybe it was just a game to you

It was nothing less than real to me

Now tell me what I’m supposed to do

I don’t know where to turn to.

I have a list of all the things my life has lost

I never thought I’d find your name there too

I never registered the cost

Your heart was never more than a bit of frost

I guess this is our end

We can wait it out

So our hearts can mend

Before you’re labeled as just my friend

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day! I just want to say thank you to all of the veterans that have fought for the U.S. Today is your day to be recognized! Without the veterans, we wouldn't have a lot of things that we do have today. I think that we should all be grateful for them. Do any of you have veterans in your family? Maybe you know a veteran but they aren't in your family? My dad and my grandpa are veterans. Have you thanked a vet yet?
