Why a Flamingo?

It was a great Microsoft template – but when looked at as one of nature’s inspirations . . .
The flamingo is one of the birds in our world that looks the same regardless of gender. It also looses some of it’s pink color as its young are born but regains it as they grow and are able to live on there own.

Flamingos are very social birds. Their colonies of a few individual flamingos are rare, while colonies of tens of thousands of birds are common.

Flamingos spend about 15% to 30% of their time during the day preening. While this might seem a bit excessive – what if we spent half of that in actively learning, reflecting and sharing? They or we’d be hot pink all the time!
