Obligatory food content follows.....

Is the flamingo a new world only bird? Have anyone ever eaten one? Got any recipes?

I've eaten "sand hill crane", but never a flamingo.

No, the flamingo is see all around the globe in tropical areas.  Some believe the flamingo was the foundation for the Phoenix myth  It seems there is a lake in Africa, somewhere, fed by hot springs, and highly alkaline, where there is a colony of flamingos.  Seems they have evolved there to the point that their eggs now need the heat from the lake to hatch.  It's apparently not just warm, like Warm Springs, but actually HOT water.  So hot and alkaline that it is inimical to most forms of terrestrial life, but the flamingos flourish there.
