The Pink Flamingos
















These are the pink flamingos, some of them are bathing while others are itching or drinking. They don't seem to move very much but their colors are very bright and a pleasure to observe. Their coloration comes from their diet which includes a particular type of shrimp that makes their feathers turn pink.

They live in a beautiful pond at flamingo gardens year round because the temperature in florida allows them to be comfortable in any season.











The pink flamingo pond is located near the flamingo gardens narrated tram which offers an optional tour of the back parts of flamingo gardens showing the many differnet types of plant life and varieties of fruit trees.
