A Flamingo

A Flamingo
In Namibia, during our 2018 world cruise.

One the many feeding in the salt flats near Walvis Bay. This one is not particularly pink, unlike others. Thought that just ONE bird might be enough.

Image processed with GIMP.

Flamingos are pink because they eat food with special color chemicals called carotenoids, found in algae and tiny shrimps. A grey flamingo is usually a young bird that has not eaten enough of this food yet to turn pink.
