These birds primarily feed on algae, crustaceans, and small invertebrates, which contribute to their distinctive coloration. Greater flamingos are social animals, often seen in large flocks. They are known for their unique feeding behavior, where they filter food from the water using their specialized beaks. Their breeding season typically occurs in warm months, and they build nests from mud to lay their eggs, ensuring the safety of their young.
