Flamboyance
A flamboyance of juvenile lesser flamingos in a lake in Navi Mumbai.
A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Both words
originate from terms that refer to fire. "Flamingo" comes from the
Spanish and Portuguese word that literally means "flame-colored." And
"flamboyance" comes from French, meaning "to flame," or
"flair."
