(2) Flamingos are a group of wading birds known for their long legs, neck, and characteristic pink coloration. This coloration is derived from the pigments found in their diet of algae and small crustaceans. Flamingos are found in parts of Africa, South America, and the Caribbean, and are known to gather in large flocks in shallow lakes and lagoons. The birds feed with their heads upside down and use their beaks to filter out food.

(3) Hummingbirds are small, brightly colored birds native to the Americas. They are known for their rapid, hovering flight and their long, thin beaks which are specially adapted for extracting nectar from flowers. Hummingbirds are some of the smallest birds in the world, with some species measuring just 3-5 cm in length. They have a rapid metabolism and must consume significant amounts of food and nectar to sustain their high energy levels. Hummingbirds are also able to fly forwards, backwards, upwards, and downwards, and are the only birds that are able to fly forwards and backwards with equal ease.
