Greater flamingo

The greater flamingo is a tall pink bird with a distinctive curved beak. It lives in warm coastal areas and wetlands across Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. This species is the biggest member of the flamingo family.

• Upside-down beak filters tiny food from water like a built-in sieve.
• Pink feathers get their color from pigments in their food.
• Nests are made of mud mounds in shallow water.
