Greater flamingo

The greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is a symbol of grace and beauty, found in shallow lagoons, mudflats, and saline lakes across Africa, southern Europe, and South Asia. With their long, slender legs and S-shaped necks, these birds are the largest and most widespread flamingo species.

🦩 Key Features:
✨ Stunning pale pink plumage, tinged with deeper pink and coral hues.
✨ Specialized beaks designed for filtering tiny organisms like algae, plankton, and brine shrimp.
✨ Known for their iconic, synchronized group displays – a true dance of the wild!

Did you know? Their vibrant color comes from their diet, rich in carotenoids. The healthier their food, the brighter their feathers!

🌍 Conservation Note: While greater flamingos are currently not endangered, their habitats are at risk from pollution and habitat loss. Supporting wetland conservation helps protect these magnificent birds.
