The Flamingo Triangle.

The Kiborgoch Flamingo Triangle came about as a result of a slow gravitational water flow and soil deposits over a long period of time. The water ways were formed along the base of the raised soil deposits forming a triangular shape. The water, through gravitational force, diverge upwind and converge at the lower part of the triangle forming a dry land at the middle. Due to its PH levels, the soil at the swampy area favors the growth of vegetation cover including the Algae (Euglenophyta) and Flukes (Trematoda) amongst other types of worms. The slow phase of water flow and the grass cover, creates a stagnation effect and hence a breeding ground for mosquito’s larvae.

The migratory birds such the Flamingoes both the Greater and the Lesser Flamingoes amongst other birds’ species, fly to Kiborgoch Conservancy in search of food and breeding. Flamingoes feed on Algae and mosquito larvae. Birds feed on flukes as well.
