Flamingoes

Emblematic and cultural

To early Egyptian culture, the flamingos were a representation of the god Ra who was known as the god of the sun. They felt that the animals where there as a reminder of the work of that particular god. They went out of their way to make sure these animals were preserved, which is also what we should do in reality. Let flamingoes wallpaper be the gentle reminder that we need to take care of our planet as well. In Peru, the flamingo is considered to be a sacred animal and they are often preserved and found in various types of art work. Flamingoes wallpaper like "Flamingo Heaven" are a reflection of capturing the beauty of these birds. Many books have references to flamingos as well, including the classic "Alice in Wonderland". Alice ends up using one as a mallet to play the game of croquette, if you can recall. Imagine watching the screen adaptation of the aforementioned book while being surrounded by your own flamingoes wallpaper!

As already hinted at, the colours of flamingoes play a huge role in why people adore these birds. Did you know that the colour pink comes from beta-carotene in the crustaceans and plankton that flamingos eat? Zoo flamingos will actually turn white if their diet is not supplemented with live shrimp or flamingo chow containing carotenoid pigments. You can really appreciate the natural vibrancy in flamingoes wallpaper such as "Giant Flamingo - Pink". The feathers under their wings, called flight feathers, are black. You only see them when the birds are flying, like in the flamingoes wallpaper entitled "Flamingo Oasis". This particular flamingoes wallpaper is stunningly beautiful and can add some much needed depth and space into your interiors. Flamingo chicks are born with grey and white feathers that do not turn pink for a year or two. You can witness this in the beautiful image named "Flamnigos in Misty Forest", another flamingoes wallpaper that can have an immediate visual effect on the visual weight of your wall decoration.
