What are the adaptations for flamingos?
Flamingos are uniquely adapted to survive in their wetland habitat.
They have long legs and webbed feet which enable them to wade in water, and to swim. The webbed feet support them on the soggy ground of the wetlands, and stop them from sinking into the soft mud.
Flamingos are characterised by their graceful necks and bills, which are longer than those of any bird of comparable size. These help them to reach for food underwater. Because of their long necks, they can reach down and stir up the mud with their bills find their food.
Flamingos also are unusual in that they turn their heads upside down in wart to feed. To this end, they have uniquely structured jaws. The lower jaw is fixed and the upper part moves, which is completely in reverse to those of other birds and mammals. Inside their beaks are tiny bristle-like structures called lamellae which filter out the mud and dirt, leaving just the good food like molluscs, worms, crustaceans and fish.
Unlike most other birds, flamingos are not reliant on freshwater. They are able to drink salty water, excreting the salt through glands located next to their beaks. Not only that, they can drink hot water as well. This is a useful adaptation as it means they can stay in saltwater lagoon, drinking from hot freshwater springs when required, and stay away from predators.

Why do flamingos change colour when they eat?
Well, their color is the result of their diet. It's all about the algae! But, they usually stick to one type of algae so they very rarely change colors, but it'd be because they eat two different types of algae. Let's say it's eating green algae, and after a while it goes on to pink(ish). It would have green feathers that change to that color. I hope that answered your question. :)
