Wild Pink Flamingos call & fly in pattern | Largest of all Flamingos | Ajit Hota wildlife Odyssey 4K
The greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) is the most widespread and is the largest living species of flamingo.
Most of the plumage is pinkish-white, but the wing coverts are red and the primary and secondary flight feathers are black. The bill is pink with a restricted black tip, and the legs are entirely pink. Chicks are covered in gray fluffy down. Subadult flamingos are paler with dark legs.
The greater flamingo resides in mudflats and shallow coastal lagoons with salt water. Using its feet, the bird stirs up the mud, then sucks water through its bill and filters out small shrimp, seeds, blue-green algae, microscopic organisms, and mollusks. The greater flamingo feeds with its head down, its upper jaw movable and not rigidly fixed to its skull.
The primary threats to flamingo populations are bacteria, toxins, and pollution in water supplies, which is usually run-off from manufacturing companies, and encroachment on their habitat.
