Flamingo

flamingos flaunting
fuschia feathers fluttering ~
funky flamboyance

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. (FACTS.net)
