"I'm pink and I have long legs"
Bathe with a pink flamingo for only
£9.99
Flamingos are large wading birds with very long legs and neck, an
abruptly turned-down bill, and an unfeathered face. They are found
in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean area. Wild
flamingos are sometimes seen in Florida, but they do not naturally
nest in the United States. Flamingos are white, pinkish white, or
vermilion, with black flight feathers (remiges); they stand from 90
cm to 1.5 m (3 to 5 ft) tall. Flamingos feed on minute animal and
vegetable matter, such as algae and diatoms, or on small molluscs
or crustaceans. When feeding, the flamingo places its head and bill
upside down below the surface of the water. Using its thick, fleshy
tongue, the bird forces muddy water through the serrated edges of
its bill, thus straining the water and trapping the edible material
in it.
Flamingos, highly gregarious throughout the year, nest in colonies;
in some species, such as the lesser flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor),
these colonies may number as many as 2 million birds. The nest is
a cone of mud up to about 45 cm (1.5 ft) high, and one or two whitish
eggs are laid in a shallow depression at the top of the cone. Both
sexes incubate the eggs. The young hatch after about a month and have
a straight bill, which begins to develop a bend within a few weeks.

...We produce our Celebriducks in limited editions and make changes
as we release each new edition. All first editions done before the
year 2000 were done in editions of 5000 and a number of them are
getting close to being sold out. The early first editions are a
bit larger and a little more firm, but subsequent editions after
the year 2000 reflect a duck which now squeaks, is a little smaller
and softer, has all new packaging, and floats as well or better
than any duckie on the market.
