The American Flamingo is a large wading bird known for its striking pink feathers and long legs. These birds are typically found in shallow coastal waters, lagoons, and estuaries in the Caribbean and parts of Florida. Their distinctive color comes from the carotenoid pigments in their diet, which includes algae and small crustaceans. American Flamingos are social creatures, often seen in large flocks. They are known for their unique feeding behavior, which involves filtering food from the water using their specialized beaks. These birds are also famous for their courtship displays, which include synchronized movements and vocalizations to attract mates.
