You may think that the large long-legged flamingo might stand a fighting chance against a Fish Eagle, but this amazing photography of a killer attack proves that this predator's reflexes and hunting skills far outweigh its prey

Thousands of emo with spoons could easily take out a jock with a baseball bat if they grew some balls. Think about it, if the flamingos or emo fags just so much as swarmed at the jock/eagle, they could crush or in the case of nearby water easily drown it. You're talking about a tiny biomass against a HUGE biomass, its not a fair fight if the flamingos work together.
Bees have proven it doesn't even take a complex brain to develop that behavior, so perhaps given time flamingos could evolve.

And how do you suggest they protect each other? As the narrator said, flamingos are awkward birds with no real means of defending themselves. They have clumsy beaks designed to filter our microscopic shrimp creatures, and skinny legs with webbed feet for swimming. A gigantic fish eagle, on the other hand, has razor sharp talons on both feet and a beak designed to rip and tear flesh. Your suggestion is akin to a group of elderly women banding together to defend against Wolverine.
reply

That beak is not designed for pecking. As zingyoyo suggested, use common sense. A flamingo's beak cannot puncture flesh, peck skin, rip muscle, or anything remotely resembling violence. It is good for one thing only - eating teeny tiny plankton. What you're suggesting is akin to a frail emo kid using a spoon to defend himself against a jock carrying a baseball bat.
reply

honey bees developed the hot bee ball in which they simply swarm onto an attacker forming a ball, and the temperature gets so high in the center that it cooks the attacker and they die.
This defeats the giant hornet, which is otherwise impervious to bee sting attacks.
If the flamingos had such a hive mind, they could be very formidable against any opponent.

You must remember that these are animals of instinct who have been conditioned over centuries in how they respond to predators. Unlike humans they don't have the capacity to strategically form a defense using their numbers to over power and defend themselves. Their brains are about the size of a walnut.
reply

Considering it says that the Flamingo has no real means of defense and the main thought that flows through any animals mind when being attacked is survival, of course they're going to run. Use common sense and maybe a little intellect, if you have it.
reply

No, what I'm suggesting is akin to TEN THOUSAND emo kids doing that vs ONE jock. Just from sheer numbers they would either win or make the jock run away out of fear.
