The pink flamingo, with its striking plumage and graceful stance, is one of the most recognizable birds in the world. Found in wetlands, lagoons, and lakes across Africa, the Americas, and parts of Europe, flamingos owe their vibrant color to the carotenoids in their diet of algae and crustaceans. These social birds live in large colonies, where they perform synchronized courtship displays that resemble a dance. Flamingos use their uniquely shaped beaks to filter-feed, drawing food from muddy waters. Despite their resilience, habitat loss and pollution threaten their populations, making wetland conservation essential for their survival.
