Description
Chilean Flamingos are a large species of flamingo. They are pink in color but immature birds are grey before they get their full adult plumage. They have long, grey legs with pink knees. Their large bill is downward curving and more than half of it is black in color. They have narrow wings with their primary and secondary flight feathers being black and their wing coverts being red. Chilean flamingos live in warm, tropical environments in South America. Chilean Flamingos are closely related to the Caribbean Flamingo and the Greater Flamingo. Flamingo comes from the latin word for flame. The flamingo's characteristic pink colouring is caused by the beta carotene in their diet.
