The Pink Secret of Flamingos

Yep. Flamingos actually start off… gray! So how do they turn pink?

It’s all because of what they eat. Their food contains pigments called carotenoids

the same stuff that makes carrots orange. Their bodies break down these pigments

and store the color in their feathers, skin, and even their

beaks! So next time you see a flamingo… remember beauty really does

come from within.
