Question
Dear Expert,

I am a ninth grade student. My teacher assigned us a research paper about how humans impact the environment and animals. I have some material already for my project. I am interested in studying flamingos, specifically, what makes flamingos endangered? and how are humans today trying to help the endangered animals?  I'm hoping you can help me out by pointing me to the best sources of info. So if you could help me out, I would really like to thank you.

Answer
Well, first you can go to your library and find books about ornithology or just about flamingos. You can also go to Google and type in "flamingo conservation". And then go to Wikipedia for information and a list of specific references. Does that help? Roger Lederer at Ornithology.com
