Flamingos, well shown online, are omnivores. Bird food contains the natural beta-carotene pigment, which turns birds’ legs and feathers into pink.

Wild birds, which aviary you see in online feed, live in areas with tropical and subtropical climates (Central Asia, Africa, South America, Caribbean, Southern Europe, India, and Kazakhstan).

At 2.5 months, young flamingos mature and leave the parent nest.
