Flamingo

flamingos flaunting fuschia feathers fluttering ~ funky flamboyance 12 April 2022 Notes: Beta-carotenes make flamingos pink. Their diet largely consists of crustaceans and algae, which are rich in carotenoids. This pigment gives flamingos the hot pink or reddish coloration they are known for.
