Flamingos aren't born pink. They get their bright color from the shrimp and algae they eat.

Flamingos often stand on one leg to stay warm and give the other leg a rest, almost like a flamingo yoga pose!

Flamingos live in huge flocks, called flamboyances, that can be thousands strong. When they move or call, it sounds like a big party.

Flamingo chicks hatch with soft gray feathers and only turn pink after eating their special food for a while.

Flamingo beaks act like filters, helping them scoop tiny food from muddy water.

Flamingos are relatively fast fliers, reaching speeds of up to 40 miles per hour.

Both male and female flamingos make a special pink milk in their throats to feed their chicks.

Flamingo nests are made of mud. A flamingo's nest looks like a mini mud volcano, with room for one large egg.
