Similar to ibis, flamingos feed on algae and crustaceans that have carotenoid pigments. The pigments, once ingested, create a flamingo’s pink coloring. However, a flamingo’s color doesn’t come at birth. Several years must pass before they reach peak color and grow their distinctive curved bills. Flamingos are incredibly social birds; they congregate in a flock called a flamboyance and are always near bodies of water. Here, flamingos find mates for life and begin families with one egg per year.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bushel \u0026 Peck Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42989161152573,"sku":"9781638190066","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781638190066_p0.jpg?v=1771583940","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781638190066","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
