Caribbean flamingos

These flamingos at Blackpool Zoo come originally from Central America. Flamingos fly in flocks of several thousand in the wild in formation like migrating geese and make a similar honking sound. They can live up to 40 years and are numerous enough not to be evaluated for scarcity. Flamingos are omnivorous in the wild, but, in captivity are fed on flamingo pellets which determine their colour and small insects. LinkExternal link
