Details for Flamingo

• Flamingo

  Flamingos are striking wading birds known for their vibrant pink or reddish plumage, long, slender legs, and distinctive downward-curving bills. Their coloration comes from carotenoid pigments in their diet, primarily brine shrimp and algae. Standing between 0.9 and 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) tall, they are highly social animals, often living in large colonies that can number in the thousands. Found in warm, watery regions across the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia, flamingos feed by filtering small organisms from the water with their specialized bills. They are long-lived birds, with some individuals reaching over 50 years in captivity.
