Big curved beaks. Beady little green eyes. Absurdly long legs. Oh, these are beautiful birds and good parents, but I wouldn't want to get on a flamingo's bad side.
I did know, having heard somewhere, that the pink coloring was a result of the shellfish they ate. Seeing them transfer it from parent to young 'un is something else again.

Thanks for that. Seeing the adults lose their color as the feed the chick is one of those things I never would have guessed.
