*** About American Flamingo: The American Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber) is a large species of flamingo closely associated with Caribbean countries and the nearby regions like Florida. Notably recognized for its deep pink and red plumage which comes from the carotenoid pigments in their diet, these birds are often spotted in large flocks where they feed on algae, crustaceans, and mollusks. During breeding season, they perform elaborate group mating dances and construct mud nests to raise their single chick. The species' preference for salty lakes and tidal flats makes conservation efforts in their habitats crucial for their survival.
