FLAMINGO'S ARE PRETTY IN PINK - AREN'T THEY?

Posted by on

Pretty in pink! Gorgeous pictures show thousands of ‪flamingo‬ chicks wading through Turkish salt flats with their protective parents in tow.

These are the amazing scenes as thousands of flamingo chicks emerged from their nests at ‪Salt Lake‬, which is home to the biggest colony of the birds in ‪#‎Turkey‬..

The colony is based in ‪‎Aksaray‬, in the ‪Mediterranean‬ basin. Photographer Murat Oner captured the amazing images during the annual event where the birds leave their nests for the first time. 

Flamingos develop their distinctive pink color by eating brine shrimp which is found in the salty waters in the area.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has signed into law a bill that raises the minimum age of sexual consent from 12 to 16, his office said on Monday, in a bid to protect minors from rape and sexual abuse. The Philippines until now has had one of the world’s lowest minimum ages of sexual consent, behind Nigeria’s age of 11, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). A joint 2015 study by UNICEF and the Center for Women’s Resources, a local non-governmental group, showed seven of 10 rape victims in the Philippines were children. One in five respondents age 13 to 17 reported experiencing sexual violence, while one in 25 experienced forced consummated sex during childhood, the study said.

By Joe Akwarandu, Umuahia The Umuahia North local government area says its current move to end the perennial street trading and indiscriminate loading of vehicles and tricycles within the Isigate axis was aimed at tackling the traffic snarl in the city; not to dislodge traders. Orient Daily gathered that the council began the enforcement of order prohibiting street trading and indiscriminate loading and picking of passengers within the congested Isigate, the city center on April 1. Mostly affected areas were Warri Street, Owerri and Umuwaya roads as well as other adjoining streets within the city centre where petty traders and commercial vehicle operators have converted to markets stalls and mini parks.
