Flamingo |
Flamingos
often stand on one leg, the other tucked beneath the body. Young
flamingos hatch reddish gray plumage, but adults range from light pink
to bright red due to aqueous bacteria and beta carotene obtained from
their food supply. A well-fed, healthy flamingo is colorful and hence a
desirable mate, a white or pale flamingo, however, is usually unhealthy or malnourished.
