The structural adaptations of the Chilean Flamingo:
1. Chilean Flamingos feed with their bills upside-down. They put their heads in the water and filter feed. They have little hairs on the top half of their bills which act as a filter to clean the water they drink. This is a adaptation because if the flamingo drinks unclean water they could possibly die or get very ill.
2. When a baby Flamingo is born, it is fed crop milk, a secretion of the upper digestive tract for the first days of its life. This helps the baby grow strong and healthy. After the baby is big enough, they leave the nest and make a group called creches. They are now able to find food on their own and provide for themselves.
