What is a Flamingo?
Flamingos are tall, graceful birds known for their long necks, stick-thin legs, and beautiful pink feathers. They usually weigh between 4 and 8 pounds (2 to 3.6 kilograms) and can live up to 30 years in the wild. Their feathers get their pink color from the food they eat, like shrimp and algae rich in pigments called carotenoids. Flamingos often stand on one leg, a funny behavior that helps them stay warm. Their feathers feel soft, and they make honking or grunting sounds to talk to each other. Flamingos live in large groups called colonies and can be found in shallow lakes, lagoons, and wetlands in places like Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. These birds are filter feeders, using their special beaks to strain tiny food from the water.
