Flamingo Friendships

Do you have friends? Of course you do.

People need other people. We need friends to help us, to share things with us
and sometimes ... we just need a friend to talk
to.我們都需要朋友，朋友會幫忙還可以分享、聊天

And of course, there are also people we don't like so much.
當然也有我們不喜歡的人。Sometimes we just don't like someone … and maybe
they don't like us, either! That's OK … it's part of life.

But what about animals? Do wild animals make friends? 野生動物會交朋友嗎? The
answer for some animals is … "yes"!

Flamingos, 紅鶴, are big pink birds with large beaks, and very long, skinny
legs. 是一種粉紅色的鳥，也有很大的喙，很細很長的腿。

In the wild, you can see hundreds and hundreds of flamingos all bunched
together. 你會看到好幾百隻站在一起。

Scientists say they now understand that flamingos have groups of close
friends. And sometimes there are also flamingos that really don't like each
other. Just like people!

Just like people!

Some flamingos have lots of friends. And some are maybe a little shy, and
only have a few friends.

Sometimes a few boy flamingos will "hang out" sometimes a few girl flamingos
will spend time together, and sometimes it's a mixed group of boys and girls.

Flamingos can live for a long time, sometimes 40 or 50 years in the wild.
他們可以活四十到五十年。And that's a long time for an animal!

One reason they live longer could be because they have friends. Having
friends might help you live longer!

So try making a new friend today! Why? Because friends are good for you!
