Start by making the sign for 'bird': pinch your dominant index finger and thumb together near your mouth to mimic a beak. Next, hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm facing up, to represent the ground or water. Finally, point your dominant index and middle fingers downward toward your non-dominant palm, but bend your index finger up so only the middle finger touches the palm. This perfectly illustrates a flamingo standing on one leg.
To sign this, you would first sign 'pink' by brushing a 'P' handshape down your chin, then sign 'flamingo', and finish with the sign for 'beautiful'.
Start by signing 'zoo' (spelling Z-O-O), then point to yourself for 'I', sign 'see' moving outward from your eyes, and finish with the sign for 'flamingo'.
Sign 'water' by tapping a 'W' handshape against your chin, then sign 'flamingo'. The second half of the flamingo sign already shows the action of standing!

While the signer in the video bends the index finger and stands on the middle finger, some signers might find it more comfortable to stand on the index finger and bend the middle finger. The most important part is clearly showing only one 'leg' touching the ground.
No, the sign for 'flamingo' inherently means the bird itself. You only need to add the sign for 'pink' if you are specifically emphasizing the color of the bird in your sentence.
The flat non-dominant hand acts as a base, representing the ground, mud, or shallow water that the flamingo is standing in. It provides a visual reference point for the 'legs' to stand on.
