Description
These elegant wading birds are mostly found mostly in Africa and in the Americas from the genus phoenicopterus. Flamingos are famous for their bright pink feathers, stilt-like legs, and S-shaped neck. Their plumage however can range from deep reds to light pink and sometimes a bit orange. When a flamingo spots potential dinner—favorite foods include shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms called algae—it plunges its head into the water, twists it upside down, and scoops the fish using its upper beak like a shovel.
