Because really, what could be better than starting the day by sharing a drink with a flamingo?

and sometimes all you need is a new friend on a beautiful beach surrounded by your old friends, who offers you a cool drink, to make everything right with the world.

I love how it seems to pretend nothing is going on with that human as the others pass by… not wanting to share?

Brilliant match of video and quote.
And I love how it sounds like the other flamingos are mocking the one drinking as if they have no time for the drinker’s foolishness!
Thanks for the smiles and chuckles.
