That was a new word to me, but I like your explanation. And I also had no idea about flamingos, either. Zero for two today, Sandra. You stumped me.

Highbinder is new to me - as is the flamingo fact. Thank you for continuing my education.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Sandra - Highbinder is a new one ... while I have to say I'd never studied the flamingo's legs ... nature is amazing. Cheers Hilary

I don’t know about you, but I am getting a little tired of the way all those flamingos grovel on bended ankle to those highbinders in Washington.

Andrew said...

I've seen flamingos and I never noticed where their legs bent.
A term here for highlander could be 'a colourful racing identity'. That's horse racing.

Jamie Ghione said...

Both are new to me.

Christine, Glad you liked it:)

Hey Denise, It is crazy isn't it. Their ankle is actually where we would call their knee and their knee is inside their body. Who'd a thought.

I didn't know that about flamingo's.

All the best Jan

I just got new glasses so I read that as Highlander. Guess I need to go back to the office for adjustments. 🤣

Jeanie said...

Highbinder is a new one on me. Seems like we have a lot of them in our government these days.

Uy no lo sabía, te mando un beso.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Elizabeth, You'll get them next time:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks for taking part, EC:)

Birgit said...

Well, we all know who the highbinder is right now. I did not know that about the flamingo

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Hils, Nature is indeed amazing. What we would think of as flamingos knees or actually their ankles.

Sandra Cox said...

Excellent, David.

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, Thanks for that. Have a grand day.

Sandra Cox said...

Hi Jamie, Your factoids for Wednesday and Thursday:)

Sandra Cox said...

Sorry, Denise, when I scroll I keep accidentally hitting delete. Dang.

Sandra Cox said...

Jan, Who'd a thought. Right?

Sandra Cox said...

LOL

Sandra Cox said...

It does seem that way, doesn't it, Jeanie?

Sandra Cox said...

Sending you hugs, J.P.

Sandra Cox said...

Birgit, We do indeed. AND Definitely an odd place for their ankles, hey?

Adam said...

I did not know 🦩

My son used to call them mangoes 😂
