I am curious about the flamingos sneezing salt. Can you point me to a place with this information? When I Google flamingo sneezes I can only find this information in your video. Which is a great video btw but I need more for my research.

If you look up "supraorbital gland" you will find more information about How birds are able to drink salt water and excrete the salt. It is also sometimes called a salt gland. It's located just above the eye in flamingos, seabirds like albatrosses, gulls, and plovers and sandpipers. All of these birds are able to drink see water and then excrete the salt. Since the salt is excreted through the nostril, it's possible that the birds could sneeze and have salt come out, but sneezing is not the primary way that the salt is excreted. It's continually being formed by the gland and deposited near the nostril.
