	Flamingo : Phoenicopteridae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Flamingos (Phoenicopteridae) are gregarious wading birds, usually 3-5 feet in height, found in both the western and eastern hemispheres but more common in the latter.
		The flamingos are the only birds in the order Phoenicopteriformes and the family Phoenicopteridae.
		Flamingos are a model for plastic yard art[?] which is apparently popular in some areas of the USA.

	Galloanserae: A Critical Examination - EvoWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Olson and Feduccia (1980a) extensively reviewed the evolution of filter feeding in birds and were able to project a coherent pseudophylogeny both for the derivation of filter feeding trophic specializations in flamingos (Phoenicopteridae) and Anseriformes from a hypothetical shorebird ancestor with cranial anatomy and kinetics similar to that of the extant phalaropes.
		Presbyornis was initially interpreted as a flamingo-like wader implicated in the origins of the Phoenicopteridae (e.g., Feduccia and McGrew 1974) though this hypothesis was revised upon the recovery of multiple presbyornithid crania, which are strikingly anserine in appearance, down to a typically duck-like bill.
		Feduccia (1976) concluded that Presbyornis was a long-legged wader with the postcranium of a shorebird and the head of a duck--a veritable icon of an evolutionary intermediate.

		Flamingos are long-legged filter-feeders whereas grebes are morphologically quite divergent foot-propelled diving birds, and sister group relationship between these two taxa would thus provide an interesting example of evolution of different feeding strategies in birds.
		To test monophyly of a clade including grebes and flamingos, I performed a cladistic analysis of 70 morphological characters which were scored for 17 taxa.
		Contrary to previous assumptions, it is more parsimonious to assume that flamingos evolved from a highly aquatic ancestor than from a shorebird-like ancestor.
