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.

MUST YOU ORGANIZE A BIG AND LOUSY WEDDING? - OGECHI EKENE

By Lovely Ogechi Ekene When it comes to wedding, some people want to have a big wedding where they they will invite the whole world, show off, snap wedding pictures, post them on Facebook, twitter, displaying them to the world. All those things are not necessary at all. They are waste of resources. Remember it is not everyone that is happy that you are getting married. When you organise an elaborate wedding and invite a large number of crowd, your friends will attend the wedding, your enemies will attend the wedding.The number of enemies that will attend the wedding will be more than the number of friends (although everyone will pretend to be happy for you). Some people are at that wedding not to wish you well but to bring a sorrow to your marriage. We have heard stories where some married couples cannot give birth to children after many years of wedding and marriage. We have heard stories about married couples did not live in peace after wedding but got divo...

HIGH SUICIDE RATE: GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE TO GET PREVENTION NET INSTALLED

By Madeline Holcombe, CNN The Golden Gate Bridge has a problem: horrifyingly high suicide rates. The community has a solution: a net covering the perimeter of the bridge. It sounds like a simple response to a complex problem, but the barrier is a big task. In May, crews will begin to erect fencing along the approaches and tower legs, but that deterrent is only temporary. From there, workers will take careful measurements to begin installing a net that extends 20 feet out along both sides of the 1.7 mile long bridge. The installation will begin in 2018 and the Golden Gate Bridge, Transportation and Highway District expects construction to be completed in 2021. And this isn't your average net. It will be constructed from stainless steel -- light enough to be inconspicuous, but strong enough to save lives. Since the bridge was built in 1937, nearly 1,700 people have leapt to their deaths from it, according to the Bridge Rail Foundation, a group dedicated to stopp...
