Download and print this free flamingo word search — 15 hidden words about the PINK bird that sleeps standing on one leg and wears its diet in its feathers. It’s a free PDF with the answer key included, sized for standard printer paper and happy anywhere from a bird-unit classroom to a flamingo-themed birthday party.
