? The lesser flamingo is one of the smallest and the brightest of the flamingos These flamingos are not born pink! Their color comes from the carotenoid pigments they consume as part of their diet. Lesser Flamingos can live up to 50 years in the wild. The name ‘Flamingo’ is derived from Portuguese meaning ‘red goose’ These flamingos are known for their large flocks. Some flocks are known to contain up to one million lesser flamingos. The flamingo is unique in that the adults, both male and female, provide their young with “milk” excreted from their esophagus that contains more protein and fat than mammalian milk.

Derramando el viento

Spilling the Wind se fundió en bronce de silicio en la fundición personal del artista, que ha operado con su padre desde 1983. Desde la época romana, el águila en el arte ha sido un símbolo de poder y visión clara. Aquí, el artista ha colocado al águila en un movimiento de vuelo casi vertical. Un ala se extiende hacia el cielo y la otra apunta hacia la tierra. Mientras tanto, esos ojos agudos miran hacia el futuro, quizás hacia el futuro. Observe la variación de color, que se debe a la aplicación de una pátina especial que define las plumas y ayuda a proteger el bronce.
