Flamingos eat small fish like anchovies and shrimp. Flamingos are actually white or grey, but the shrimp they eat turns them pink. When a flamingo loses its feathers it eventually turns white or grey. A baby flamingo is born white or grey, but it gets pinker as it gets older.

They eat shrimp and some anchovies, as well. (It is the shrimp that accounts for the pink color of flamingos.)

They eat plankton, tiny fish, fly larvae, small shrimp, and anchovies.
