Flamingo Nursmingo like a normal nurse only more fabulous shirt

Flamingo Nursmingo like a normal nurse only more fabulous shirt is pink. They are actually born with dull grey feathers and gradually turn pink in the wild. The vibrant pink color actually comes from beta-carotene, a red-orange pigment that’s found in food that flamingos eat, such as brine shrimp and larvae. Since the bird eats a large quantity of carotenoid-filled delicacies, its feathers turn pink. Just like if a human eats a lot of carrots which are heavy in carotenoids, his or her skin would become a little yellow. If a flamingo is kept away from its natural food, it will slowly turn to a white color due to the loss of pigment. They evolve to be pink because they evolved to become filter feeders that consume brine shrimp and microalgae and diatom. The things that they eat contains a carotenoid pigment that dissolves in fats and is deposited in the growing feathers.
