Flamingos Are The Origin Of The Phoenix Myth — A Tumblr Thread

How much do you know about flamingos? The only thing I could tell you is they are pink. So you better believe I had no idea that flamingos inspired the legend of the Phoenix until I stumbled upon this Tumblr thread.

Tumblr has taught us a lot over the years and this is just the latest interesting thread to educate yourself with. If there’s one new thing to learn today, it’s that flamingos are the inspiration for the Phoenix myth.
