Pink flamingos' egg yolks are typically a bright orange color. This coloration is influenced by their diet, which is rich in carotenoids found in the algae and crustaceans they consume. The carotenoids are converted into pigments that give the yolks their vibrant hue. Overall, the diet plays a significant role in the reproductive health and development of the flamingo chicks.

What ingredient prevents an egg from stiff peaks?
The presence of fat, such as that from egg yolks or any added fats like oil or butter, can prevent egg whites from achieving stiff peaks. Even small amounts of fat can interfere with the proteins in egg whites from properly whipping. Additionally, any residue of grease or oils on mixing equipment can also hinder the whipping process. For optimal results, it's essential to use clean, dry equipment and separate the egg whites from yolks carefully.

Do the color pink on flamingos help them?
Yes. Flamingos' pink coloration derives from pigments called carotenoids, which are the basis of red/pink/orange coloration in a variety of animals. These pigments cannot be generated by animals, but originate in photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae, some fungi and bacteria) and are then passed from one species to the next via the food chain. There are 5 major carotenoids found in flamingos, coloring everything from their egg yolks and livers to their feathers and preen oil: echinenone, canthaxanthin, phoenicoxanthin, astaxanthin, and phoenicopterone. The 6 species of flamingos get their carotenoids from different sources, as a result of the fact that variations in bill morphology allow the birds to access and ingest different-sized prey items. These include diatoms, brine-shrimp, plant seeds, mollusk larvae, and, in particular, cyanobacteria such as Spirulina. Although these foods do not look pink on their own, they contain carotenoids that flamingos metabolize and express in their tissues. If you see pictures of young flamingos, you will notice that they are whitish-grey, rather than pink; you may also notice that there is quite a bit of color variation even among fully-grown adult birds. Depending on the species, flamingo juveniles do not start expressing their pink coloration until they are 2-4 years old; adults' pink coloration varies according to how many carotenoids they consume and how healthy they are. When flamingos were first held in captivity, keepers had a hard time maintaining the birds' pink color because they were stressed and not eating natural diets. Commercial food mixes were eventually developed, but not until keepers had tried a variety of other solutions (sometimes successful, sometimes not), including mixing carrot juice in with the flamingos' food and water.
