Do you know that it is partly because of its food that the flamingo's plumage is pinkish? It feeds mainly on aquatic invertebrates, as well as their larvae and eggs. We especially find crustaceans including salina artemia rich in carotenes which contribute to the pink colour of its plumage. The pink flamingo is the most widespread species of flamingo. It walks its long and elegant silhouette in lagoons and salt lakes. Its beak, unique among birds, allows it to evacuate the salt contained in the water which passes through it. The flamingo sleeps standing on one or two legs, its head hidden under a wing.
