Pink Flamingos
A colony of pink flamingos reflecting on the pond. Flamingos live in lagoons, lakes or anywhere there is lots of mud and water. They live in large groups called colonies - tens of thousands of flamingos can live in one colony. When they are ready to lay their breed, birds will form pairs. Within the whole colony, groups of birds will be engaged in courtship displays -, a predictable sequence of displays including marching and head turning, calling and preening. Why are flamingos pink? Feather color varies with species, ranging from pale pink to crimson or vermilion. Caribbean flamingos have the brightest coloration: crimson or vermilion. A flamingo's pink or reddish feather color comes from its diet, which is high in alpha and beta-carotene.
