Flamingos

Flamingos are large, wading birds known for their distinctive pink coloration and long, slender legs. They are found in both the Americas and Africa, typically inhabiting shallow saltwater lakes and lagoons. Flamingos are highly social animals and form large flocks, sometimes consisting of thousands of individuals. They are filter feeders, using their unique beaks to strain algae, small invertebrates, and other organisms from the water. Flamingos are also known for their courtship displays, which involve synchronized group movements and vocalizations. Their pink coloration is caused by pigments in their food, and their feathers can range from pale pink to vibrant red depending on their diet.
