“Flamingo milk is bright red. Both mother and father flamingos produce it.”
Surprisingly, flamingo hatchlings are white or pale grey, they gain their pink or orange coloration depending on what they eat. Flamingos eat algae and crustaceans that contain pigments called carotenoids. For the most part, these pigments are found in the brine shrimp and blue-green algae that the birds eat. Enzymes in the liver break down the carotenoids into the pink and orange pigment molecules deposited in the feathers, bill, and legs of the flamingos.
