Flamingo facts:
The scientific name of a flamingo is Phoenicopteridae. The flamingo is a very loyal and social bird. They are monogamous and only lay around one egg a year. The pink color of a Flamingo comes from its diet. That is because the diet of a flamingo consists out of little crayfish which have red pigments. Their favorite foods include shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms called algae. The flamingo plunges its head into the water, twists it upside down, and scoops the fish using its upper beak like a shovel.
They are able to “run” on water, thanks to their webbed feet, to gain speed before lifting up into the sky. The brighter the color of a flamingo, the more well-fed the flamingo is. It takes three years for a flamingo to get this pink color, which means they are born white!
A flamingo is a water bird and they live around lakes and lagoons. Flamingos are very social. They live in colonies of thousands of birds, all together they are called a stand or a flamboyance. The oldest flamingo ever known was 83 years old, and sadly passed away in 2014.
